 * One of my (very, very few) essential plugins for WP. It makes building layout
   a breeze.
    I made my own fork and build though, to make some changes: -I changed
   the basic gutter values to CSS variables, so now I can use my own values. -I 
   changed to media queries as well, for my setup. -I changed the editor visually
   a bit, to make it look like an editor, see columns etc, but that’s just a personal
   preference.
 * And what I couldn’t do, but would be nice to have, to change the order of columns,
   and the number of rows on mobile/tablet, when it starts collapsing.
 * But again, it’s essential, and should be part of core WP. Thanks guys!

 * Awesome! Thank you for the review.
 * Using custom properties for the gutter width is an interesting idea. I have opened
   a ticket to see if we can add such variables to the plugin itself: [https://github.com/Automattic/block-experiments/issues/184](https://github.com/Automattic/block-experiments/issues/184)
 * Regarding media queries, I hope we will one day soon explore opening up some 
   customization abilities directly in the editor for that.
