I did not use bard as a block builder previously, but now that I did I find the focus UX within bard confusing and it makes destructive changes (removing sets) too easy:
Bards sets get a blue outline when focused. However, this outline changes randomly and does not always focus what I expect it to focus. It worked a bit better before Statamic 6. The outline sometimes changes on mousedown or sometimes mouseup. Some elements don't have a focus like Button Group, Checkboxes, Asset Selector, which makes the outline suddenly disappear.
When focusing a bard you can easily and accidentally delete it by pressing any key (like any letter, can be undone with ctrl + z). Pressing the "delete key" would be fine to remove those sets for me, but that would still be inconsistent with the grid field implementation.
The grid field works much better in this regards and you can't delete sets accidentally. It even has a confirmation prompt if you want to remove a set.
