The Gutenberg Editor is often known simply as the block editor. It launched with WordPress 5.0 in 2019.
Gutenberg replaced the “Classic Editor” and introduced a different way of creating content in WordPress.
Blocks are content elements that you add to the edit screen to create content layouts. Each item you add to your post or page is a block.
You can add blocks for each paragraph, images, videos, galleries, audio, lists, and more. There are blocks for most normal content elements, and more can be added by plugins such a PublishPress Blocks.
PublishPress Blocks is the plugin you need to publish advanced and professional content in the new WordPress block editor. PublishPress Blocks has several key features in one plugin, including latest content blocks, layout options, sliders, maps, icons, and image galleries, plus custom CSS styles.

One of the things I love about WordPress is that the project has a clearly-stated philosophy. One of the principles is to design for 80% of users and leave plugins to fill in the more advanced features. This is happening with the Gutenberg block editor.
