Interesting – a start

This was interesting to look through, even if I had no intention (or project) to use it on. It will be more interesting to see which direction it heads in.

It seems that a lot of the anti-comments seem to relate to premium products such as themes and other plugins. I can’t say I have a huge amount of sympathy for the envato crowd, frankly. The world can’t stay still to ensure commercial theme writers and their middlemen (envato) continue to make money.

I don’t like the removal of choice or people being forced to do or use stuff against their will so I hope this stays as a plugin until it has been properly thought through, developed and enhanced.

But if this is progress, it’s progress. WordPress don’t need to build their product so that it doesn’t conflict with premium products – it’s down to theme and plugin authors to get over it and adapt.
