Thanks for working on this. I imagine we'll want to use this as the basis going forward. Since working on the last one, I've been thinking that perhaps the treatment of blocks themselves might need a little more work, so I think it would be good to freshen up the mockup and then I can help bring this branch home.

Noting that this PR is also a requirement before starting to explore showing the block patterns in the inserter.

Can we merge this and continue iteratively or what needs to be done here?

Took this branch for a spin, here's a GIF:

I do think it's a superior experience, but I'd love @mtias thoughts on it before we merge. I believe he's been thinking about the inserters a lot lately, and might have thoughts.

If we do go forward with this branch (I'm a fan), then two things:

1. There are a bunch of vertical scrollbars on the preview, not sure why exactly, probably something I can help fix if need be.
2. Let's bid farewell to the initial help text. It's a ton of verbiage and once you've read it a single time, you need not read it again.

This feels vastly better than what we have. On an "averagely sized" window, it looks great:

I'm however not a fan of all the empty space when the window is taller than average:

@jasmussen not sure if you've put any thought on this. I myself I'm undecided on how to go about this and if it's a big issue at all.

@youknowriad I think I found a minor bug: when increasing my browser's window height, the inserter does not accurately grow in proportion to the window:

I think it's not a big issue, but I definitely hear you, it's something to consider.

The reason for the very tall inserter, outside of just leveraging the space, is because people don't scroll and discover more blocks. I would suggest that's an argument to explore collapsing only some of the block sections, like Embeds perhaps, and then defaulting more categories to open.

@enriquesanchez This doesn't happen to me unless the dev tools are open which make me think it's fine.

did some cleanup here and rebased, it should be good.

Let's try that.
