Joe, you provide some outstanding information.
However, the real truth is that plugins (themes, or templates) are often not the biggest problem for most WordPress users. They want to get traffic, they want an online business. Keep adding or changing plugins, themes and other features does not solve their real problem. WordPress “as is” won’t build an online business. It’s missing a do-able start-to-finish BUSINESS process.
Surely, you can slog through the mountains of business building advice and tools that are out there. But for most WordPress users it all ends up being too much.
So, despite the dazzling display of WordPress features, the reality for most (non-tech) people who want to create a web business with WordPress is that they need to adhere to an easy-to-follow, all-in-one, proven, ethical webbusiness-building system (not a get rich quick scheme), tailored to the WordPress platform, to get (1) a significant amount of traffic and get (2) targeted traffic (example of such a system: WealthPrinciples dot net).
Otherwise you’ll end up having (and building) only a WordPress webSITE (or BLOG) but not a webBUSINESS.
