Overview
This WordPress plugin is designed to enhance content layout by allowing users to create and manage columns within their posts or pages effortlessly through the use of shortcodes.

The plugin also offers customization options, such as spanning columns across multiple areas for emphasis, ensuring enhanced flexibility in design. To cater to different styling preferences, users can either stick with the default styles provided in the columns.css file or dequeue it to implement personalized styles, providing a seamless integration and a tailored experience to suit individual websites' needs.

It does not compare with other columns plugins, as it is the simplest I have been able to use. It is perfect when using Disable Gutenberg or such.

I really like these kind of lean plugins. Maybe it’s not for everyone but it doesn’t add any bloat and I like that.
To the people who say this plugin is not responsive. Responsive settings are based on CSS defined media breakpoints. The author of this plugin did not include these. Different themes use different breakpoints. So yeah you might have to add a few lines of css yourself to accomplish responsive effects.
But in the end this will always look better than pre defined responsive css settings included in some other plugins, which will not always look good on every theme.
example:
@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {
.columns-2 .column { width: 100%; }
.columns-3 .column { width: 100%; }
}

Installed great but on a phone gives two really skinny columns instead of stacking them up.

It sort of works but put everything into a colored box with a tiny font.
Useless to me but might be OK for some people (that like tiny fonts and weird boxes)

Thanks Konstantin, great plugin, simple and to the point. I just tested it in Black Studio TinyMCE (Visual Editor widget) inserted into Page Builder (by SiteOrigin) and everything works 100%.
All the best from everyone here at SiteOrigin 🙂
