 * What does our community think of the theme development GUI tool PineGrow?
 * Primarily, is it a safe tool to use on ones system?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello!
 * I’m Emmanuel, the WordPress dude in the Pinegrow team.
 * I will let other community members answer your first question but as for the 
   2nd one, I can assure you that Pinegrow is 100% safe for your system 🙂

 * Sounds reasonable for you to offer that opinion Earnoud but, I was hoping to 
   hear from folks with less of a bias on the subject.
 * In addition to whether PineGrow is a “safe” software tool to use on ones system,
   the premise could be extended to related areas (since it’s not an open source
   tool nor is it a product offered not for profit). An additional area that one
   can be found introduced on the web is how code can be inserted into WordPress
   themes that a user/purchaser of the theme is not aware and that siphons information
   from the site’s activities back to a third party.
 * I’m not implying that the tool would/could do that when generating themes, etc,
   but it seems like a reasonable question to ask the greater WordPress community.
   If a healthy number of recognized high-level developers can vouch for the integrity
   of the product, that could be a good thing for everyone. Correct?
