WPChill is now the owner of Gutenberg Forms, a project created by Munir Kamal.

Something on my radar right now is third-party plugins that have settings in the Customizer. What I gather of friends who are the devs working on Customizer and front-end stuff within a few plugin companies, global styles and block styles are not yet on their radar.
