In reply to Tom McFarlin.

Tom, thanks for a detailed reply! Just to make it clear theme copy + pay is provided to the reviewer since it's clearly a lot of work :)

Generally, i think the issue is that developers&customers expectations seems to be out of sync here, it is really hard to make something to suit both camps today especially if you are also working under platform (e.g.:TF) but I believe there should be a better way to make a feature-rich themes (i know from the first hand how hard it it to develop something from multi-purpose themes) and I want to try and find it.

P.S. as an intermediary solution i just heavily invested in our theme's HTML version that way anyone who is familiar & want to work with with latest development frameworks can use it to make a light-weight WP theme (or any other actually) for a client fast hope this makes sense for our clients
