Why Storefront Powerpack Is As Dangerous As A Loaded Gun

I’m going to pick on Powerpack because it is the latest ones of these plugins I’ve seen (Powerpack is really done well and if you use Storefront is a must buy). There are plenty of them out there. It’s not just plugins there are themes that do this too. Plugins like that exist as it is assumed that people want total control over their site without having to know any code. I think that assumption is false. What people really want is a great looking site and the way they think they’ll be able to get it is by more control over the presentational elements of their site. For most people, their site will actually get much worse once they get more control.
To me, making plugins like this is like giving someone a loaded gun with no training or guidance and being surprised when they shoot themselves in the face. Control over the elements isn’t what is keeping most people from having a nice looking site, it’s design talent. If I were looking to make my site better I would much rather pay for access to sound design advice than tools that I have no clue what to do with it. I have no problem with the core principles of things like Powerpack I just think people
