This is fantastic that WordPress is taking steps towards streamlining the development process. While this solves lots of current issues – the biggest problems we’ve noticed is the reconciliation and merging of active production sites with development sites. Best example of this is building in NEW features into a busy WooCommerce site and then having an amazingly awkward time publishing; the fact that options / data are shared between a combination of settings in the wp_options table and then orders constantly coming in make the publishing process VERY manual. Looking forward to see how this all progresses in the future.
