Maybe, but that was my blunt opinion as a designer myself. I've never been a fan of the templates, though the latest GMail ones were a great improvement. If you look at the old ones and you still don't see "room for improvement" (to put it nicely) then I just think some people don't perceive "style", or their loyalties are so strong that they are unable to process constructive criticism.
Nothing against programmers, but it's been my experience they aren't exactly the greatest artists and designers in the world. Looking at some of the template sets it *does* look like they've just been knocked up when the programmers had 5 minutes.
In a word the webhostingtalk board is just slick. GForum is a fair way behind, in my opinion. The "feature request" wasn't so much a point by point blow of what needs doing, more a point in the right direction as I see it, written as a "look how great this is".
