Looks like you are starting to explore world of page builder in Genesis ecosystem. I would recommend:

1. Page builder by Site Origin - it's free and it leaves really neat code. https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/

2. Beaver Builder - For whole hog of features. It's paid solution - https://www.wpbeaverbuilder.com/

Both works fine on Genesis themes.

has anyone used Cornerstone?

Visual Composer is popular; I get it. From an SEO standpoint, it adds all kinds of div and span tags, makes the code messy ... adds to page load times.

I'm just not a big fan of page builders.

With Genesis Extender, you can do a lot of things like create a static homepage with a ton of different looks -- without creating a page. You can have a ton of different custom image sizes. You'll have custom hooks, functions, css, etc. ...

I just think it's a great tool for all Genesis users.
