Great work. I've been considering making a similar plugin myself, so I'm glad I found this one before I did. It works well and makes it considerably easier to see where each block is. Especially useful when you have blocks within blocks. i.e. Group -> Columns -> Column -> Paragraph

I'm amazed this only shows 500 installations so far. This is a MUST for any site. If this was a stock feature there would probably be a lot more people willing to adopt/accept the new editor. Thanks Kalimah Apps for the excellent plugin!
