@Robbie - Your comments clearly show your ignorance.

Were you not around for the great Thesis GPL war? The witch hunt to force Thesis to go GPL? But Matt has better things to worry about right? How long have you been involved in WordPress? Do you pay attention to reality?

Jeffro sums it up above as far as the history goes in his last two comments above. To say Matt has better things to do shows how much little you know about WordPress, Matt, Automattic, the WordPress community (both free and commercial) and the demonization of Thesis within it.

If Matt had an opportunity to have someone as influential as Matt Cutts switch away from using Thesis, he would take it. He's publicly made offers to pay for a new premium theme for people to switch away from Thesis in the past. Despite the fact you seem to think he has better things to do.

Matt is a fantastic developer, a great business man, a very intelligent person, a great speaker and someone I have tremendous respect for. But don't make him out to be an angel or a saint. That he isn't. I'm not. Nobody is.

It's gotten a lot better over the last year or so. Less drama. Less behind the scenes politics, etc. and I hope that continues.

Being a veteran in the commercial WordPress space I've seen things behind the scenes and been involved in situations first hand behind the scenes that would change the perception of many people within the community. There was a time where the behind the scenes politics were extremely volatile and Matt was right in the thick of things in a lot of cases. Despite the fact you seem to think he has better things to do.
