The OP asks for advice about best tools, implicit in this is a consideration of what these tools can achieve. Everyone has their favorite tools, but in the end it is all about what ends up on screen for visitors to see.

Got any compelling examples of websites demonstrating block editor capabilities? The WordPress Website Showcase does not have tags for block editor or Gutenberg, nor does it seem to have much that is recent.

The few examples I turned up are not compelling or even good designs. I did not see anything that can't be done with classic WP and some existing plug-ins or a bit of CSS. Is this all we get from so much developer labor and disruption for people who just want to publish their content?
