12. In 1.5 we have created
an incredibly flexible
theme system that
adapts to you rather
than expecting you to
adapt to it.

19. I’m sure the code of the themes in
the directory is top notch...
But I wouldn’t know, because you
couldn’t make me click download
on 90% of those theme pages. I
won’t do it.
The designs... are just awful.

43. That was all sarcasm.
Seriously, I think this is horrible,
and there’s not much you
can do to make it worse...

64. I’d like to see themes
take the form of
building blocks which
form websites
together... More
dynamic ways to

72. I would like to see us get
back to brass tacks.
There is too much overlap
between themes and
plugins, and I think for the
sake of the overall
community of WordPress
users, clear delineation
between one and the other is
important.

now shifting into

look amazing out

79. I want to see a
theme that works
great out of the box,
but really sings
when integrated
with certain
plugins.
