Should this be called just the "Inserter"? Using it you can insert patterns and media, as well as blocks.

That's a good question.
At https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-block-editor/ this part is called "Block Inserter".
I think the reasoning is that patterns and/or media are at the end just different ways of inserting blocks.

In my review of the previous landing page PR, I asked @mburridge to change it to Inserter for those same reasons. I would avoid using Blocks here similarly to how we are starting to say Templates more instead of Block Templates.

2. **Content Canvas**: The content editor, which holds content created with blocks
3. **Block Inspector (settings sidebar)**: A panel for configuring the selected block’s settings (as a tab of the settings sidebar)

Through the Block editor, you create content modularly using Blocks. There are a number of [core blocks](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/core-blocks/) ready to be used, and you can also [create your own custom block](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/getting-started/create-block/).
