Comment (by oglekler):

 @lukecarbis Users and even developers don't know that reusable blocks
 exist, and editing the post where you included some reusable block just to
 edit it isn't a very convincing way to do things. For example, you have
 several calls for action and depending on what is happening you want to
 edit one of them — you need to go and find the post or page that contain
 this block to edit it or to start a new post just to include this block
 and edit it there.

 The link to manage all reusable blocks isn't obvious in Gutenberg right
 now and users will be struggling to find it when they will finally know
 that it exists.

 I am adding this link into the menu in sites I am developing in a place I
 offered to place it for everyone and explaining to my clients the
 advantages of these blocks and how to use them. It isn't obvious. Anyway,
 most plugins are adding their menu into the main menu and sometimes you
 are seeing people sites inside and it just a horrible mess. I am trying
 not to do this and cut out everything I could to make it clear as
 possible. I think it is the responsibility of a developer to make an order
 and a nice UX )
