Over the past couple months we have made several updates to the Block Editor field to make it easier to use and a more powerful tool for content authors. The controls and formatting menus are smoother and easier to understand, it support paste from and copy to Markdown, and lots of small quirks and bugs were taken care of. More info can be found here:
Let us know your feedback on the Block Editor field, if it is easier to work with and what types of use cases you find it most useful for. We are always looking for ways to give content authors a little more flexibility and control over content without having to rely on devs!
