I am hesitant but excited for these changes. Genesis has always had two customer bases, its developers, and the DIY child theme buyers. I think this holds promise for both. For the DIY buyers, in particular, it brings the true flexibility the child theme buyers have been looking for because of the block editor. Genesis has always attempted not to be too opinionated in how it built out the editing options in its child themes which have always been a limitation. A good one but one that was limiting.

As a developer, I hope we will be able to use a tool like this and strip out all the premade templates and customize it for custom theme building and are restricted to the templates, sections, and blocks that are best suited for the experience I am trying to deliver.
