This does highlight an issue though and that is language barriers. Not to over generalize or be racist lol but it seems like most of the WordPress contributions come from middle age white guys. There is nothing wrong with this but it makes you wonder what would be different if we had a major release lead by one of those developers who were not the best at English what would be different.

I also would like to see more Asian influenced themes. Go on themeforest and look around and you will see that most of the themes are exactly the same. They are all using the same basic layout with maybe a few changes here and there.

I want to see more Asian influenced themes in the market because it might solve the design rut that WordPress themes have fallen into. Frankly these themes are not even about the best design anymore its more about how many features they can throw in. Which is fine but I am tired of them all looking the same.
