This is where I am. I find theming the most difficult part of Drupal. Some 
day, I'd like to get paid for doing Drupal sites for small businesses in the 
area. My target market likely won't pay enough for a site for me to be able 
to subcontract out the theme part. So the easier Drupal can make it for a 
non graphic designer to come up with a decent looking theme, the better. I 
realize the truly outstanding themes will always take someone who really 
knows how to design, but non-designers should at least be able to come up 
with something usable by changing colours and graphics and not having to 
worry about all the browser quirks and whatnot.
