I agree with you on basically every point. From just a quick look on this site it looks nice, but as soon as you try to focus on only one detail… voila.

Also, I’ve never really understood the fuzz around the “bottom bar” containing all sorts of listings that didn’t really fit into the main content (e.g. comments, resources, friends etc). You have to scroll through the whole page to even realize it’s there, which I rarely do. How can this have become so popular?

But, at least, this theme made it out to the public, while we’re still impatiently waiting for yours ;)
