@Jesse you have captured it perfectly!

Cheers & praise to Justin Tadlock and his core support members in the Hybrid Forum. I've been a Hybrid and Stargazer theme user for over eight years and I've never had such great, fast, patient & thorough support from the forums or developer of any other open source product.

Hybrid 5.0 and Mythic are sure to be a striking and crucial change in theme development that will inspire current and future users, and also challenge other theme communities to "generation up" their own efforts.

PS: Stargazer is the very theme used right here on WP Tavern
