I hate to admit this but the tipping point that got me into Mambo over
Drupal was the default template.  It is bright, inviting, interesting.  I'm
sorry but blue marine doesn't do it for me.  I've since come to my senses
and moved over to drupal for all of my development/design work but those
coulple months before i realized how big of mess Mambo is was time I  spent
not making cool Drupal stuff I could brag about to others.

I've seen some good themes get ported recently but maybe we need a
structured theme inititive of sorts.  That bit of eye candy is often what
pursuades people who haven't taken the time to really investigate the
differences in a thoughtful way.
