The New Divi 5 From Elegant Themes

Elegant Themes are about to release DIVI 5 a completely new theme builder for Wordpress websites, I have used Divi for a number of years as part of my website business, supporting a number of clients. I started with Divi 3 which was then upgraded to Divi 4 when it launched a few years ago. Divi 5, however, is not an upgrade. It is a complete new system. Divi 4 let you style elements one by one. Divi 5 asks you to think like a system architect building rules, presets, and variables that shape the entire site.
The reason for this post is that I believe there are few members who use Divi (I recall even Jay @magistudios used it briefly a number of years ago before moving to GeneratePress). I am creating a Visual Brand & UX System page on my website as a style guide using Divi 5.
