Comment (by michelleweber):

 @westonruter, my preference would be to capitalize Customizer; it's a
 proper noun. Other thoughts:

 I'd love for these -- in the absence of just being able to see all my
 widget areas at all times, which would be my preference based on my work
 with users -- to have added context. So in no-sidebars, that would mean
 also saying "The page you're currently viewing has no widget areas," and
 on the other two, it would mean including the instruction on navigating
 while in the Customizer.

 (My experience is that this is pretty (or: very) confusing for folks, and
 that it's not terribly intuitive (1) that you can continue to click around
 your site with the Customizer open and (2) that the Customizer wouldn't
 just be showing you all your widgets.)
