I think the blog post tells you all you need to know:

"Maybe, I’m just too used to how WordPress works."
This is clearly someone that is used to working with a different system and 
found wrapping their head around a new one a bit hard. Lets not forget that 
WordPress is a blog system, Drupal is a lot more. It's always going to be a 
bit more of a learning curve.

"there’s quite a learning curve when trying to conquer those quirky nodes 
and blocks."
Whilst this is true changes in the theme system that are already in the 
pipeline will radically alter that, making it much easier to conquer blocks 
and nodes :)

But whilst themeing Drupal can be made *easier*, it's never going to be 
*easy* to set up and theme large or medium sized websites, not if you want 
to do it well.
