    initial v1  
    33> ...widget area blocks do not allow you to try this new feature without penalizing you for experimenting.

    5 Just not sure "penalizing" is the right word here. It's true, we, as users, want *everything* to be WYSIWYG as much as possible. The Customizer's "instant preview" kind of helps, but still feels quirky and hacky (and is far from being WYSIWYG). However agree that every "Save" would need an "Undo", no matter what.

    77The good part of this is that now widgets can continue to be "re-imagined" for 5.7, and get even more enhancements. Not sure how many people have tested this for a bit longer but having blocks in the widgets areas (a.k.a. sidebars) opens up many new possibilities and makes a lot of the old, limited widgets obsolete. The "widget areas" become something like "specialized posts with more dynamic content", letting users (and designers) do a lot of stuff that was either hard or impossible with the old widgets.
