It is based on phptemplate, and is tableless. You can use the .php files in it as a starting point too.
The hard part with Drupal is the CSS ...

This is an example theme I've come up with that tries to implement as many of the features of PHPTemplate as possible, and respect as many of the settings as possible.
It's XHTML 1 and pure CSS.. and hopefully structured in a useful way. I think it's a lot cleaner in structure than bluemarine and might be a better starting point for new themers? (eg: All blocks, boxes, nodes, comments have the same basic structure with a main title div and content div).
Example theme: http://stasis.org/~rowan/projects/drupal-example-theme/4.6/
Discuss.. :)

If I used Friends Electric as a starting point then: 1) I wouldn't use the CSS and would have to re-make it all myself 2) I'd delete all the images 3) I'd remove any extra markup which isn't needed (like <span class="clear"></span>) 4) I'd rename all the strange classes to something with meaning (lw1, lw2, ew1, ew2 etc) 5) I'd change it to XHTML 1.0 Strict
So, as you see, I'd not in fact use it as a starting point for much - althought that's just me. The main part that I *do* like about Friends Electric is that all the extra markup (those ew1's etc) allow for rounded corners. Of course, none of what I said make it a bad theme - it's certainly one of the best.
