In reply to Abraham Stockman.

I agree. When I tried Gutenberg on its own, there wasn't much flexibility. But it seems that the WordPress core team is leaving the extra features to plugin creators.

I don't know how that will impact WordPress.com, but I am already doing most of the things I had been doing with premium page builders with Gutenberg - and just a few free block plugins.

Try the Kadence Blocks plugin. Lots of great layout possibilities! Also, consider the Atomic Blocks, Stackable, and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg plugins. All are free, and all of them greatly extend the core editor's feature set.
