Comment (by travisburch):

 First off, thanks :).

 INSIDE -- I don't have any ReUsable blocks inside reusable blocks that I'm
 aware of.  I've got perhaps 150 ReUsable blocks -- should I go through
 each and make sure none of them have any?  Fwiw, the error we saw was not
 the result of ReUsable Blocks inside ReUsable Blocks -- it's just a random
 occurence.

 GROUPS -- With my ~150 RU Blocks, should I go through and put them all
 inside a Group?

 IMAGES -- These are only the main icons of the site, and they're used
 everywhere, hundreds of times, taking a viewer to that topic's home page.
 Not sure how else I can do that efficiently w/o ReUsable Blocks.

 Replying to [comment:44 davelo]:
 > @travisburch first thing: use the keyboard arrows to easily switch
 between blocks; and go to the needed reusable block.
 > Second tip: check if you have reusable blocks inside reusable blocks.
 Cause that can get really messy. You can see that in the Block List View.
 >
 >
 > The way how you handle reusable blocks; like every image inside a
 reusable block. I wouldn't advise to do this cause... well, it's just
 unreliable at the moment. Plus, the UX for seeing reusable blocks is super
 hard, things can get quickly turn into a mess.
 > I would advise to set those logo's inside a group, and make that a
 reusable block.

 >
 > As i said in this ticket: reusable blocks is the best but most
 underrated & ubderworked feature in Gutenberg.
 >
 > If the core team is listening, i would suggest the next stuff:
 >
 > 1. - always put an extra border around the reusable block (a on/off
 button would be okay for that border). If not wanted: read suggestion 3.
 >
 > 2 - don't allow creating reusable blocks inside reusable blocks; that
 could crash pages. This must be priority.
 >
 > 3 - build an indication in the gutenberg-header when the page has
 reusable blocks. Like a couloured bullet and then a number in it; hovering
 it gives a list view of reusable blocks. Click on it and you scroll to the
 selected reusable block. Because of this indication, users are less
 surprised when saving the page and suddenly see a notification of "saving
 a reusable block".
