This is the big problem I have with the WP ecosystem today.<p>Themes and plugins are a minefield with very little space between the mines.<p>Almost all themes in the theme repository are crippled versions of premium themes today. The same goes for plugins where a huge amount of the plugins in the official repository is just some kind of nagware trying to lure you into buying a "premium version" which finally unlocks the single feature you installed this plugin for. Then there are plugins which are outright broken and will never get fixed anymore and some are just filled with some kind of malware.<p>Oh, the aforementioned premium themes obviously come with a bunch of dependencies, some bundled plugins, theme frameworks and whatnot else.<p>Instead of fixing this hole mess, Automattic thinks we need the 27th site builder for WordPress and adds fuel to the burning piece of crap that the WP ecosystem has become.<p>Sad to see from the outside, glad I left it behind me.
