Actually, while I would have agreed with this a couple of years ago, I  
see no evidence that this is really the case.
Yes there are always a few vociferous people who complain about the  
way things look, but the actual interest in the theming code/ 
application, since it was added in 2006, has been about zero.
I'm still hoping that if we actually had a few well designed themes to  
show, it might change things though.
