Back in December 2018, Elegant Themes announced that they’d be launching a Gutenberg Block module within the Divi Theme.
We are working on exciting integrations (coming soon) where you can use your favorite Divi modules within Gutenberg, or use any registered Gutenberg blocks within the Divi Builder.
Gutenberg and the New Divi Builder Experience (Elegant Themes Blog Post, Dec. 11, 2018)

ID is a nice, little plugin for WordPress (fyi: ID was purchased by WordPress’ parent company in September 2008) that manages your comments. With WordPress 2.7’s threaded comments feature, ID’s feature set isn’t all that much of an improvement. But ID recently announced that…
