GeneratePress Development Bit Slow

Hi Team,
I have been using the GeneratePress theme + GP Premium + GB Pro, and I am happy with the theme, and its performance. However looking at other themes I feel the theme development is slow. When I say slow, I am mainly talking about adding new features to theme and plugin.
For example, consider Kadence theme - https://www.kadencewp.com/kadence-theme/starter-templates They have come up with so many templates, plugins, blocks and colorful demos that look stunning. If you look at the GeneratePress demos, they are good, but they don't look modern. Why can't your team also come up with such modern demos that will not make theme look nice but increase the sales too. Not just demos, the starter templates can also be a good addition to the theme which will help build the website quickly.
I have been using the GB blocks pro, and I see there are no new templates added over an year (I am guessing so because I haven't seen any new templates except 2 new ones). The plugin renewal date is near, and I am still thinking if I can skip this year and renew the plugin next year to save $39/yr.
As we all know GeneratePress is a solid theme, I would love to see good updates, new blocks, demos for this theme and plugins.
Hi there,
Our team is working very hard on new features and new sites all the time. We just released a handful of new sites a couple of weeks ago and will be releasing another batch soon. I'm sorry that they're not quite your taste - we're always happy to receive suggestions and feedback.
As for features, we've always taken a slower and more measured approach, which is why we've been able to remain the fastest and lightest theme for almost 8 years. A lot of other themes race to create new features to gain more users, but those features quickly become obsolete and contribute to overall bloat in the long run. We're committed to not doing that.
We also have a big batch of GenerateBlocks Pro templates on the way in March.
Thanks!
Thanks Tom. I will wait for the next update.
Thanks!
