prehaps a default option of changing the CSS yourself would be more prudent. Given that I have a template that uses very basic color styles and core joomla elements most of these don't have any use in some templates other than text pecifications..
Given that new templates will be wanting to take advantage of DHTML, CSS 2 and other new features I would think that will play a part in future issues...
It's really easy to carefully edit across any styles you want and as an admin, I would prefer eveything worked first, so I can edit the CSS, weed out the bugs (hello IE)in the template to take advantage of precache and maintain the style that way...
Once I can see what does what initially, how the layout truly is structured I can be inspired to create simpler or more complex styles per module / component to fit my requirements.
I know "out of the box" is great if yoiu can do it, otherwise we would all be with phpnuke or the like, but template issues tend to have a mind of thier own especially as IE is lagging desperatly behind and I find myself constantly correcting IE render issues...
