I’m re-looking at my use of RW as development does not appear to be progressing. I’ve currently chosen the framework route with RW as frameworks are easy to keep updated although they are also more expensive. You also need to know which stacks your site depends on to work (so you don’t delete it) and if you maintain a number of sites that may well be a whole lot of info to keep track of. Over the years I’ve accumulated such a cruft of stacks with no real way of knowing which are still supported.

There is an integrated update feature, but nothing to tell you if your stack contains deprecated code or if the developer has ceased updating. With RW where I have my main experience the stacks management is not the best. It can also add more code to your website if plugin developers are using the same open source code and you might get some occasional quirks where different plugins don’t work well together (although that’s very occasional). The difficulty is that the code behind the plugin is developer dependent. These all have to be purchased separately or in a framework (essentially a group of the plugins this is by far the best route in RW.) For example they can allow you to easily add social icons or media players or parallax views. These are essentially plugins that provide extra functionality when creating your site, they are plug and play.
For RW and Blocs a lot of functionality comes through RW stacks and Blocs bricks (although with Blocs I believe you can also see the code).
