What a wonderful plugin! It’s amazing how WP adds all kinds of crap and no way to
turn it off – I don’t use patterns, don’t want my clients to use them, and this 
is the perfect solution to avoid these types of issues. Fantastic way to remove 
unwanted core blocks as well, sanity at last, THANK YOU!

Great plugin, thank you. Let me tame my plug in beast and bring order to the Press.
I combined it with the php filter ‘block_categories_all’ to move them to my own 
categories as well. Together, they have made a world of difference.

I wanted to like this plug for the nice UI design. When I open the block manager
screen, the two grey tabs where block listings are suppose to display are empty.
It looks like some kind of glitch. Update: I added a couple more review stars for
author’s response. Hopefully the issue gets fixed soon.

Having the ability to disable some of the more obscure, unnecessary blocks is essential
and this plugin features on every site I work on. Thanks!
