In the developer's words
Free yourself from the constraints of linear & radial gradients.
Mesh Gradient generates a gradient image with an underlying 2d mesh, and lets you edit the vertices & edges of the mesh to get the perfect gradient look.
Achieving something similar with existing gradients would be impossible, since layering numerous gradients results in muddied colors and sub-par results.
