RE: A modern-mode?

[arthur miller]

Can't customize already show ui to turn on/off features without showing elisp? 

Can't there be just a customize group or page where people can turn on/off features and similar?  What makes theme more suitable?

I am sorry if I am a tad bit obnoxious, my goal is not to be negative, just "thinking loud".

BTW one of the advantages of themes is also that we could provide a UI
that displays the various elements of that theme (without having to show
ELisp code).
