I thought I was some how just stupid because I didn't get what Calypso was about even after reading a few posts about it. But, it's the interface, the new link between any JetPack enabled sites and the WP.com user account. I have noticed that. Especially the plugin updating. That really is nice! I wish it worked for themes too. Now and then it does hang, but still, a great job for something new out of the box.

I run my own sites without help so I'm always glad to find something that can automate some part of the process in bulk. I did have a plugin which did the plugin updates all at once for all the sites. But, I thought it wasn't worth keeping around as another plugin which may fail or break or whatever at random times. I've been trying to work with less plugins while needing more from them. That likely doesn't make sense. Anyway, to have more from something I've already got is a great thing!
