Great explanation! Every time technology changes, I will always have a hard time to choose either to stay on old route or follow the new route. And I do agree with you that one day, block themes will have many themes in repository as classic themes. But it's not hurt know how to do both. I think I'll be doing hybrid themes from now on.
Thank you! I've been searching for the answer to this question. I'm new to WP so I think I want to just go the block-theme route and be as future-proof as possible. But I'm having a hard time finding "actual" block themes -- it seems like many themes say they're block themes, but really they still use the Customizer, etc. I guess those are the hybrid/universals that you mention. Any recommendations for actual block themes? Thank you!
The WordPress repository actually has a “block themes” filter you can use to search for block themes specifically. Otherwise, you can check out Neve FSE or Raft if you want a solid, pure block theme.
Great insights. Thanks. Good perspective on Automattic driving the development of block themes. Kind of disappointing to see open-source development driven so heavily by the needs of a single for-profit company.
Thank you. I am newer to theme development and my head was in a whirlwind as to what i should be doing. This answered questions that I had.
Very good work!

Thanks, that was a great explanation
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching 🙏

Old dude here...this is getting confusing lol Any tutorials on creating hybrids?
Checkout my recent video on WordPress theme development I uploaded a few months ago. Thanks for watching 🙏
So are you saying if I make WP themes using PHP and ACF Pro Blocks it is a yhbrid development type of theme or a hybrid backend theme?
