I've worked with Thesis and Atahualpa before. I've never known them as "frameworks," but more like "themes with their own built in widgets."
I think they're good for people who need a certain layout and are not too concerned with customization of aesthetics. As long as you're willing to deal with a few shortcomings, those themes can probably get you 90% of what you want if you're not too picky.
But personally, I find them to be limiting in the end. It's tough to go into those kinds of themes and add even 1 line of custom code because they weren't really made to have that happen to them. I prefer to do all of my themes custom, so that way they are exactly what I (or the client) want them to be and there are no bloated extra widgets that never get used.
