Don, no theme is "coding free" if you want to super hack it. :) The point of Thesis is that it is easy to change fonts, colors, links, headings, number of columns (3, 2, 1), position of columns, add a teaser (in many varieties), add multimedia box, etc., all without a bit of CSS, PHP, or even HTML. And the hooks add a bunch more customization by just dropping code into the fields. After hacking away at all the template files for years, that's like a dream. And all the customization stays put when you upgrade. More to the point, you CAN upgrade after customization. That is a dream come true to me. :) JR, I feel your pain. Been there! Brad, some free themes are well supported. You'll have a better chance with those. If/when you do jump, give <a href="http://win-with-1.com/thesis-theme" target="_blank">Thesis</a> some consideration. Thanks for all the great comments, everyone.

I am worried with each passing update that my current free theme will cease to work, but I have been lucky so far. When I decided, or more than likely forced, to change themes I really like what I've seen with Thesis. I especially like the administrator panels. They are so much better than the standard WP panels.

I"m using Thesis on my blog. I purchased it because it was supposed to be "coding free" - which did NOT turn out to be the case. I think it is probably a good theme is you know CSS and PHP ( I don't) so I spent a lot of time customizing it when I really should have been writing content. I'm looking for another theme now for a daddy blog I'm about to start and I won't be using Thesis! Any suggestions?

Not bad for a free theme. Looks pretty good out of the box, but I had problems with it, like in IE displays and getting some page templates to work right and to customize the CSS. I've been using Thesis for almost two months. It's the best theme I've ever used. Never had one problem. I'm not a great programmer and I can still really work it over. Love it. And the hooks are super. I’ve used atahualpa in the past. Not bad for a free theme.
