Do you have any proof to back up your statement about WordPress “competing with professional web development programs like Dreamweaver and Microsoft Expression.”
Thanks for putting this list together. My vote is for “News” theme by Quommunication.

I actually think a lot of these themes look a lot alike, aside from a few small layout changes and color schemes. Case in point they all follow the same basic layout: header, menu, content, footer - in that order from top to bottom. I say change it up to make things more interesting!
I’d like to see some more interesting ideas for layouts - there are enough informative magazine/blogs out there with everyone pitching the same jargon and babble over and over again.
