I'm starting to get more and more wordpress theming projects. IMHO I have not found anything on Wordpress which compares to the Zen theme framework in Drupal. With that said, I've done two custom themes which are based off clients PSDs. I've used Thematic for one and Hybrid for the other. I felt that both frameworks were extremely overkill. I'm about ready to start a third project now and again looking around for theme framework. The only other option I've heard about is Thesis which you need to pay for, but from looking at the HTML output...i don't think this is what I want either. In my experience I much preferred Thematic as it had better documentation. Hybrid you need to pay for the documentation and it's poor. Thanks for writing Thematic Ian. It's better than Hybrid and I may use it again. Jordan As a Drupal developer I love the Zen theme. I’m starting to get more and more wordpress theming projects.

I'm a little biased though—I wrote it! :) If you’re looking for a theme that lets you make sub-themes (or in WordPress-speak, Child Themes) without messing unnecessarily with the core theme code I’d recommend Thematic.

I'm definitely going to check it out. I just set up a new customer website with the blankSlate sci modification over the weekend, and it went very smoothly -- albeit I need to make some adjustments.
