Unfortunately, after the dust settles, these ideas are correct. Because one HUGE problem with current WP and it is not WP's fault per se, but that each theme has its own "admin" panel and these vary WIDELY. SO each theme has different settings in different places. I speak of what is commonly referred to as the "options panel" in many themes these days. WP tried to help and start using the CUSTOMIZER more often. But this is still a bit uneven.

Time will tell, as the siren song of extreme thoughtfulness and ease of use provided by rainmaker and Pickle (the only ones I know of, there may be more) will certainly be a factor in the future of WP.

Pickle makes me think I could do ten restaurant sites in the time it would previously taken for ONE site :) I like that for sure.
