I can hear every designer that I’ve ever worked with saying “So… the users can use this to destroy the site that I’ve designed?”. And or couse the answer is “Yes of course, because freedom”.

I can see the point of this if it’s like the customizer where it’s site-wide, but allowing all of this on every page/post/etc… is it really the best way to use this? So far it seems like a solution in search of a problem.

As much as I like being able to customise things, there’s always limits to what should be available. Look at the car-crashes that were Myspace pages when people could do anything that they wanted to. Imgine having to load 548 different fonts on every page view because “Hey, I can change this font! Lets see how it looks with all of these fonts in different colours”. And of course the innevitable… “No, I really need 20 sidebars on this page. But why is the content so narrow?”
