Hi Justin,

Thanks so much for highlighting the discussion that started with the introduction of the global gap setting. To be honest, I’m still not sure what to think about it.

From my perspective currently, yes a responsive global vertical margin setting can be a good idea for some default blocks, but I can think of so many cases that I don’t want to have this in my designs.

In my opinion the block Editor brings the possibilities for more advanced individual designs to WordPress, so I see an issue with introductions of very generic settings that might become mandatory to use. That just does not sound great to me.

I think themers, pattern designers as well as users should have the possibility to adjust any setting, but it should be the design creators choice to opt-in or out of a particular feature in their project.

At least this is how I hope it will be, since as you said it should be possible to build anything we want with WordPress.
