After figuring out how to install the Photo Block theme and trying out the FSE features can't say that I am inspired. Considering that On the Go Systems have already cracked much of this with Toolset Blocks, I am wondering why FSE is so confusing?

I guess they have a bit more work to do but it does confirm one thing. The way the block editor is implemented, where third party developers can proffer a myriad of blocks for every occasion, and, if any of the plugins that deliver these is disabled, we are left in no mans land and fragmentation, the one thing that page builder have been accused of.

I said it before. What should have been the goal was a strong set of common blocks for content and layout and then an API for third parties to hook into to add bells an whistles either for styling, UI for settings or both. Then all page builders could conform to this and contribute best design practice to the project. Leave one builder for another and at least much of your work would remain intact.

What I see so far doesn't convince me that any of this is going to make WordPress any easier for a lot people with starter to medium skill set.
