As you can achieve practically any design with good modern themes, I’d say that themes are no longer about the design. I pay attention to the structure, robustness and how lightweight the theme is. Personally, I just stick to GeneratePress and Kadence. I just don’t need more themes right now, I can achieve with these two all I need.
One feature that is important to me but not many themes have it is hooks. Both GP and Kadence have them. Hooks are in the “structure” category for me.
