Any plan to update to the latest version of Underscores about starter-theme HOT 3 OPEN

Which functions do you think are out of date @utsavdevsharma? I think I could find some time this weekend to open a PR updating some of that if it makes sense. A lot of template tags aren't needed though since you should be adding most of that data to your Timber context :)

PR's are very welcome if this is necessary for anyone. I will add an issue to change to namespaces too.

Underscores is deprecated and will be archived, no longer updated. Has anyone used https://blockbasetheme.com/ at https://github.com/Automattic/themes/tree/trunk/blockbase from Automattic? Because of the major changes in WordPress, we have to consider the 2 approaches now. I've been struggling with trying to figure this out myself, so did some research and the reasons for this are compelling:

WordPress is still in a transition phase – block themes are in a nascent stage and don’t offer the full gamut of features that will be available in the future. This puts theme developers in a bind; do we:

• Continue building classic themes and ignore the Full Site Editor.
  • This is easier in the short term, but it ties our users in to the classic WordPress way of doing things.
• Build block themes and give users a “beta” experience in the Full Site Editor
  • The Site Editor is still rough around the edges and for users who are familiar with the classic dashboard it can be confusing and frustrating.

Neither of these options is ideal. Enter universal themes.

Universal themes are an attempt to use the benefits of both approaches.
