Re: Poll: Potential new installation requirements for enhanced addon capabilities
I am afraid the extra prerequisites are problematic and I concur with @R_J on that. I also concur with @charrondev on the difficulty to go on the cloud because of the pricing model.
However IMHO Vanilla IS a good choice for non-experts and the barriers only come as one tries to go deeper into customization (especially things that are not already supported by an option or a plugin). In that respect the suggested requirements would no longer make it a good choice for non-experts.
GoDaddy, one of the largest host providers offers Vanilla and I've used it more than once. Works like a charm out of the box and they even offer automatic upgrades (which amazingly works).
Re: Notification about Security Updates
There is a feed on the dashboard. Do not recall an option to get notified.
