I'm just a user, and don't look to the Repo to find commercial providers, but I can assure you that my use of the themes repository has imploded, with the lately-changes.

Oh, I seek info from the repo, but I don't hang out on/in it, like I once would. Instead, I use the external engines to uncover stuff in the repo.

I don't like infinite scroll. I don't like having Dick Tracy's wristwatch-screen blown up to fill my desktop (wasting 90% of the space). But I get it, that leading is largely figuring out which way the herd is going, and looking normal for the Jones.

If I was selling stuff, I'd be studying my SEO, not the Repo.
