WordPress block patterns offer a fast and straightforward way to build websites elegantly.
With full website editing leaving beta in WordPress 6.2, building with blocks will become popular, and more developers will adapt to this new option to build, which keeps the website way faster than website builders, but has the same easy user experience.
Block patterns can also be reusable blocks(synced patterns), helping keep content in sync throughout the site, or pre-built blocks(patterns), applying the same layout in many areas.

Large websites are now using blocks. Many consider it the future of WordPress website development, with new and exciting block themes coming up.
