I have been using my classic underscore theme for years and finally decided it was time to leave the past and adopt a block theme.
Everyone on here talks about Bricks being a great modern theme and no bloat so I assumed it was something like Kadence Blocks, i.e just a collection of blocks that was directly integrated with WP’s Gutenberg. I was quite suprised when it turned out to be a standalone page builder like Elementor.
What confuses me is how something like this could claim to have no bloat. How can this be if its entire UI exists separately as its own editor divorced from Gutenberg? Surely there is some abstraction going on here that will eventually lead to my headers being buried in 15+ divs?
Edit: I assumed Bricks was a block theme but discovered it to be a page builder. I am not claiming its a block theme

Bricks is not a block theme, it‘s a standalone page builder. Unlike Elementor it produces really clean HTML code (without 15 div wrappers). It‘s true that it adds that new layer of editing interface, but that doesn‘t influence the DOM HTML output.
As u/callingbrisk said, Bricks isn’t a block builder (though I can see why people would think that based on its name).
You can try bricks for free on their site https://try.bricksbuilder.io – build something then view the code.
