Not only is it installed on all my websites, it’s also created by a nice person.
A must have that does what it says! 👌

Reveals the blocks invisible lines better than what the EditorsKit does (way better),
BUT, you have to make sure that you use the key. shortcut while you have not selected
any block, otherwise the shortcut will also change that selected block’s alignment
to the right. Maybe having a different shortcut would be another way to go, or even
better, a button instead on the top toolbar. Otherwise, excellent plugin, I am sticking
to the 5 stars, Thanks.

For reasons that are difficult to understand, Gutenberg devs have decided to gradually
remove any kind of block outline. This plugin brings back this necessary feature.
Thanks.

Saves so much time and makes the editing/building so much easier. I found this just
when I needed it. Thanks so much Maxime.

Thanks Maxime, your plugin saves me a lot of time. It doesn’t seem to be a big deal,
but these few borders improve the editor interface a lot. Maybe one day in core…?
🙂 Just a little note: I searched a while before finding the keyboard shortcut to
use to activate the feature. Maybe the information would be welcome directly in 
the plugin description.
