Just running through these off the top of my head:

– Does being able to take different parts of different themes to create what you want feel enticing to you?

What might be interesting to me is pulling patterns from specific themes into others. When I think about patterns, though, I'm particularly interested in the layout of the blocks more so than the stylistic pieces. Those are easy to change. The more that we can have this sort of shared layout experience from theme to theme, the more mixing and matching we can do.

It could also be awesome to pull a color palette and drop it into an existing theme. Sort of like having a Colour Lovers directory to pick color schemes from but keep all the other bits. This could be fun for people who can recognize a palette that they like but would never be able to handpick all those colors. I've often seen color schemes that I'd love to use from other themes but didn't like other things about them.

– What prevented you from switching themes previously? Curious about this in general, especially in light of folks eventually hopefully switching to block themes in time.

Mostly just like to build my own thing.

– Are there any tools outside of WordPress that you use that create a delightful experience when switching between something comparable to themes?

Probably the closest things might be "skins" for various applications. For example, it is simple to load up a new color scheme for my text/code editor without changing anything else. That experience feels more like changing a WP admin color scheme than the front-end of a site.

Outside of that, I can't think of anything.
