I am super glad to have come across this. I have been searching far and wide for
the solution to what would seem a simple problem — how can I group a few elements
together? I mean, show me a website that doesn’t require this. I am not understanding
why it wasn’t included in Gutenberg to begin with, but I digress. There are a few
other Gutenberg Block plugins that claim to have container blocks, but with all 
the others I’ve tried, the container block is super laggy whenever you drag it around.
This plugin seems, at least from my experimentation so far, to have somehow avoided
that issue for the most part. Very nice. Besides that, this one is nice because 
it doesn’t come with a bunch of extra stuff I don’t want. Most block plugins load
a bunch of scripts and styles that I don’t need. I am a theme developer, so I’ve
been looking for something to just give me a way to structure the page and let me
handle the rest. Thank you very much for bringing this extremely useful plugin. 
Now I can actually make websites again.
