I have been playing around with blocks 3 and have been using Kadence for a few years and now that we have dynamic blocks and templates, things are now becoming interesting and we are close to a complete solution for advanced dynamic sites.

However, the way Kadence elements currently works with templates is very clunky when creating archive pages and loops. There are no pagination options or advanced query options.
Also, not having a repeater block is annoying, as this is used so much when creating dynamic ACF content.

I have recently been testing Cwicly (A newish block builder) and I must say they have full templating, conditions, advanced query builder, filtering and more.
With Cwicly there is a learning curve though, even if you are a seasoned developer.

With Kadence Blocks Pro you have lots of blocks that do many things, but they all seem to be missing things you would like to use from other blocks.
Why do we have filtering on one block, but not in another?

We really need an advanced query builder and repeater block and we also need filtering.
There needs to be more options for creating templates and pagination too.

Just feels like Kadence is falling behind a bit after looking at Spectra & Cwicly.

Kadence has a great workflow, but new features are needed if if is going to compete.
