We're already offering the ability to change background/text colors and to highlight github repos — what other customizations do you have in mind?
I think back to the days of Myspace and the chaos they allowed in the name of "customizations" and sort of shudder. In that Myspace "good ol' day" the profiles started to resemble the craziness of a benhalpern.com.
Also, remember that because we're speaking generally about all dev.to members, we should use gender-neutral language: "Will the time come when users can fully customize theirhis own profile?"
I'm a developer who likes testing first, iterative processes, and refactoring, and I care about quality. I speak both C and Ruby with some facility, and enjoy both, which confuses some people.
Some amount of similarity in appearance and interface is beneficial, in my opinion (and generally in the opinion of the better UX experts, which I'm not, by the way). I wouldn't want too much customization, especially because the site is already pretty nicely low-overhead in terms of the cognitive load of using it and, from what I've seen, pretty gentle on my computer's resources too.
That genderless variation of the sentence could be improved even further by making plurality match across the whole question: "Will the time come when users can fully customize their own profiles?"
I like dev.to so far. Keep up the good work, and thanks.
