WordPress Themes Lacking

WordPress needs a better system for bringing aesthetically high-quality themes to the top. Last night I spent quite some time wading through a huge ocean of stylistic catastrophes finding nothing that I liked.

I guess part of the problem is that WordPress lacks any kind of WYSIWYG theme editing (aside from placing widgets). If you're not proficient with CSS, you're screwed. I guess I'll have to load that CSS book onto my Kindle and brush up.

Update: Okay, there is a theme editor in the works, but it explicitly states that it's not ready for prime time yet. Unfortunately, it seems that development is currently stalled with the last updates being last Spring. There is always this really old webapp, but it seems very limited in the sort of themes it can generate.
