People need to be able to assemble useful things from a list of 
ready-made parts they can just copy/paste.

One of the things that got HC off and running was the plethora of 
useful ready-to-run and/or modify stacks, together with ready-made 
fields, buttons, artwork, etc.

IMO, that's what it needs. Like a bunch of Barbie and Ken doll themes 
with add-on objects.
