Also worth noting that to the best of my knowledge this is the first instance of a WP Shortcode View where the editing interface is inline in the editor, rather than in a separate modal popup or the like. This sort of inline editing of views should be much more the standard as Gutenberg progresses.

(I could be wrong, any prior art would be welcomed)

For anyone curious to see how it was built out, here's the initial repo it was developed in: https://github.com/Automattic/gm2016-grunion-editor
