Everyone has a choice but I don't want to lose the significant role of key areas in web development. Perhaps anyone could use SquareSpace however, I'm not quite sure if their sites could take a little space in Google Search results. :-) Thanks K, for your new thoughts about SquareSpace.

All Thisis-driven websites look like they are Thesis-driven. They're not different enough. WordPress is a framework itself, why do we need frameworks on top of frameworks that make it even more limited? Thematic, Thesis, Hybrid and other "theme frameworks" are meant to bring WordPress closer to end-users I guess. The "No coding skills required to make your wordpress site look perfect"? If that's the case you should consider SquareSpace. Cheers, K. Heh, maybe I should write a post called “Why I dislike Thesis” or “Top 10 reasons to not use a WordPress Theme Framework” ;)
