I’m really enjoying the block editor. I’m still as happy with the concept as I was when it was released. I’ll restate my original opinion. People tend to resist things that remove them from the familiar. Blocks nudge users out of the safety of set themes and colors to the thin branches of individuality.
It’s scary, but scary can be good for you, and your bottom line.

One benefit seems being able to slightly tweak the size of widget frames to get the right fit for a given layout. Maybe you want the bottom line of a category widget to line up with the top line of a sidebar widget. It seems like such a nothing issue, but the OCD afflicted among us are already itchy just thinking about it. 😉

I have a whole list of ideas I’ve been waiting to try out but lacked the capability to style certain aspects of my site. I’ve never really been excited about software development. This has me rethinking that.

Please, no fanboy shouts. I don’t have a collection of software t shirts. Not saying I wouldn’t wear one if it showed up though. 😉
