Great block!

Great block that allows placing and resizing blocks in a more flexible way than the regular columns block. I hope it is continually supported.

Heavy, expensive, terrible framework design, and very limited features!!!!!

Test your site with this plugin and without it, on lighthouse. it costs between like 5-6 points, on mobile!!!!! It loads 45K of unused classes!!!!!!! 45K gzipped, and 186unzipped. No idea how come
