Thesis vs. Genesis?

[statelizard]

Thesis is a piece of shit unless you're a developer. And even then it takes too much time to sort out the stupid fucking way they designed it. It's great if you want a fast theme that looks like every other thesis theme on the interwebz. By the time you have something that looks halfway presentable it's bloated and slow as shit. You may as well have spent all that time coding a theme from scratch and selling that motherfucker.

The only redeeming quality Thesis had was it's built in SEO boxes. The masses all ohhed and awwed becasue chris put some fucking meta boxes in it. CongratuFUCKINGlations. And it hasn't been updated in over a year, "but don't worry ya'll the SUPER DUPER THESIS 2.0 will be out soon" ~ Chris P circa last fucking January 2011 or earlier.

"Hey hopefully Thesis 2.0 will be in a BETA by next month" ~ Chris P circa a couple of days ago.

In other words, go with something else, really go with pretty much anything else. At least they're supported. Thesis 2.0 is the DUKENUKEM FOREVER of Wordpress themes. Just Vapor that shit already.

And to top it off Chris comes off as a total douche in every interview he gives. He's a used car salesman that keeps company (and used to run a company) with other douches like SUPER DUPER PROBLOGGER Brian Clark for fucks sake.

Not hatin', just tellin' it like it is. I give him props for make a boatload of cash, but that doesn't mean he's any less of a douchey flake.

Used to use Thesis, switched over to Genesis now. I like Genesis more. The education theme by them is pretty clean.

I see a few people here mentioned Headway. I'll have to check that out as well.

Thesis is a huge pain to customize. Go with genesis.

Thesis is a great theme, just need to dedicate a hour or so to learn to use it properly.

I work with both, in the last couple of months I prefer Thesis, but both are good.

I did a review of Thesis vs. Genesis head to head. I always tell people to go with Genesis for the pre-built designs, Thesis for minimalism (unless you can do your own designing).

Thesis vs Genesis – Comparing Premium WordPress Themes

I've only done a little with Headway. I know someone who bought it because it is supposedly easier for first time WordPress users, but she was having a very difficult time even getting basic things done with it.

Ignore the shitheads. Damn nice writeup. May I suggest a thesis vs genesis vs headway review?

+1 catalyst, does quite a bit out of the box, great hook interface for code & css, forum support only but it's very good.

I find Thesis very easy, what is it that everyone finds so difficult about it? It took me about 30 minutes to get how it works and anything I can't figure out I find via Google fairly quickly.
