 * The Plugin became really invasive, “forcing” you to use all the spectra blocks
   instead of the Gutenberg ones.
 * It was possible once to disable all the unwanted blocks, but now you have a basic
   set of blocks that put themselves on top of standard gutenberg ones, leading 
   to confusion for the users.

 * Hello [@oceandigitals](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oceandigitals/)
 * I’m Mehedi Hasan, from Spectra team.
 * Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your experience
   with Spectra. We value all users’ feedback and strive to address any concerns
   or issues raised.
 * We sincerely apologize for the dissatisfaction you experienced with Spectra, 
   and we truly value your feedback. However, I just want to clarify that we never
   enforce the use of Spectra Blocks over Gutenberg Core blocks. Both the default
   Gutenberg blocks and Spectra blocks differ in their functionalities. As a result,
   it is natural for users to utilize a combination of both to create visually appealing
   pages.
 * We understand that some users may prefer not to use certain Spectra blocks. And
   you have the option to disable the unnecessary blocks easily through the Spectra
   settings. Additionally, like the default Gutenberg blocks, Spectra Blocks are
   also available in the block list, and they are clearly categorized as Spectra
   blocks to avoid any confusion.
 * Again, thank you for sharing your feedback. It is truly disheartening for us 
   to come across such reviews, considering the efforts we put into ensuring that
   our users have a positive experience.
 * Regards,
 * Mehedi Hasan

 * Mehedi, I appreciate the ability to disable certain Spectra blocks, and overall
   I think the plugin does a great job, but please add the ability to disable ALL
   blocks, so we can pick the ones we want. I don’t want to confuse my editors. 
   Thanks!

 * Yes please, give the possibility to disable all the blocks and not only some 
   of them.

 * Hello [@jcdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcdesign/) & [@oceandigitals](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oceandigitals/)
 * I understand that you want the ability to disable all the blocks, but we have
   a set of 8 core blocks that must be enabled because other blocks and features
   have dependencies on them. We built Spectra in an efficient way for our users
   as to not duplicate functionality. If we added the ability to disable these few
   core blocks, Spectra would no longer function.
 * Hope you understand.
 * Thanks
