A plugin that I use for all my themes for its intuitive and especially for the clean code that it generates. Not a big machine like some plugin that put you 10 div for a paragraph... In short, one thing that is sorely lacking is the possibility of adding a block (div) in a column. Please for the next update? !! Thank a million!

This is really well done, it does lack some features to become perfect, and has some issues with the editor (columns chaos if multiple classes are set) but it works perfectly. By far the fastest way to get Bootstrap into Gutenberg : THUMBS UP

from me 5 stars - (i would give even more if it would be possible) this is a truely great plugin, You can use it for many purposes. It works great right out of the box, but is very easy to customize to suit your needs. my current use-case: i use this plugin to power up my page - which has visitors from several european Countries. I’m using this plugin to manage a small job-site: And i have to say: I love this plugin. And when it comes to support: this is great. The developer helps alot and comes up with great support.
