In reply to Rhys Clay.

Man (no gender discrimination intended) you are just doing it wrong. You are using wordpress as a frontend/dreamweaver replacement and not as a CMS.

There was nothing except of lack of knowledge that would have prevented you to insert and edit images in whatever fancy way you would like, all you needed to do was to override/extended the relevant backbone template.

Why didn't you? Why very few others done it? because after the initial excitement of having backbone templates in core there was no one which took upon himself to maintain proper documentation about it.

Wordpress core for years had failed to produce any decent documentation and guides regarding the usage of JS in core. The idea that the same people that have not done it before will suddenly start doing it properly now is ridiculous. The fact that an outsider had to create a tool which the GB team should have is a bad indication and the fact that GB has right now 500 open issues with an un believable release date of april indicates that no one will put any attention into it.

Creation of block is most likely to become a kind of 'dark magic" like using the media library APIs today.
