The main feature of SMOF is its intuitive, user-friendly interface that aims to look as native as possible to WordPress. Additionally, it comes loaded with some awesome features that makes it even more usable to you as a theme author.
Some of these are:

- Keeps the site URL out of the database
- Google fonts with live preview
