Tell us what you are trying to do? Well, I just updated my theme including all my views, content templates, and archive templates. Come to find out that the Views plugin has been moved to legacy support. So I am trying to understand Toolset Blocks. I see some demonstrations of blocks in action however it seems these demos still refer to the term "view" when creating a view using toolset blocks. So I need to understand that create a "view" using toolset blocks, am I still using the legacy views plugin or the toolset blocks plugin? Also, I plan to reuse those new "views" like I currently do.
Can you help me to understand how I can properly deprecate my existing views, content and archive templates in order to use the new features of the currently toolset plugins?

Essentially these are still views, just created in a visual manor using the Gutenburg editor.

The Blocks plugin and Views plugin are functionally the same, with the only difference being that Blocks is geared towards users who want to create their views completely visually. So blocks comes with the classic view editor disable by default. This can ofcourse be enabled in our Toolset settings.
The reverse is true, our views plugin comes with the blocks functionality. It's just disabled by default and can be enabled in the settings.
You can still create your views in the classic way if you enable the settings in blocks, so you won't have any issues if you switch to Blocks or use views.
Also, if I remove the Views plugin, how do I maintain my WooCommerce views?
If you remove Views and Blocks, your WooCommerce Views plugin will still function normally and your templates will remain unchanged. However as mentioned the classic view editor will be disabled by default.
You will need to go to Toolset -> Settings and scroll to editing experience to set your editor preference.
Please let me know if this clarifies things for you.
