Welcome to the Post Status Draft podcast, which you can find on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and via RSS for your favorite podcatcher. Post Status Draft is hosted by Joe Hoyle — the CTO of Human Made — and Brian Krogsgard.
In this episode, Joe and Brian talk about two of the three WordPress core focus areas — the customizer and the editor. There has been some news lately with initial ideas and mockups for each project, and we discuss the importance of these features, as well as what’s happening with these projects so far.

Finally WordPress realized and shifted their focus on editing experience. Robust customization experience is the missing piece of the puzzle. If you look at the top themes of ThemeForest, most of them have either bundling a page builder or have drag and drop content creation as their top feature. It’s great that core developers stepped in before it’s get out of control.
Current customizer controls are very limiting. Although there are many custom controls for customizer available for anyone to use on their project. I’ve listed all the WordPress customizer frameworks available at the moment. Check this out: https://atlantisthemes.com/wordpress-customizer/
