 > The editor will endeavour to create a new page and post building experience that makes writing rich posts effortless, and has “blocks” to make it easy what today might take shortcodes, custom HTML, or “mystery meat” embed discovery. — Matt Mullenweg
 
 WordPress already supports a large amount of "blocks", but doesn't surface them very well, nor does it give them much in the way of layout options. By embracing the blocky nature, we can hopefully surface the blocks that already exist, as well as attach more advanced layout options to each of them, allowing you to easily write richer posts, like <a href="http://moc.co/sandbox/example-post/">this example post</a>.

 ## Why
 
-One thing that sets WordPress apart from other systems is that it allows you to create as rich a post layout as you can imagine. But only if you know HTML & CSS and build your own custom theme. By thinking of the editor as a tool to let you write rich posts, and in a few clicks create beautiful layouts, hopefully we can make people start to _love_ WordPress, as opposed to pick it because it's what everyone else uses to blog.
