    A 'starter theme +plus' maybe? :)

    Frameworks offer too much bloat / starter themes no enough to hit the ground running.

    Something that is common to use at the beginning of each project to enable you to get struck straight into building a design and layout without having to mess about with all the Wordpress template tags. Something to use as a starting block for any WP site design.

    IMO Starkers/Sandbox on it's own I don't think offers this in it's stand-alone guise. But combining it with html5 boilerplate and a grid.css perhaps is... Then there's the built in support for the latest 3.1 + features which 2010 does well but others not so much.

    HTML5 boilerplate is something I've been looking into today. Everybody's different but I'm starting to think that: Starker's + HTML5 Boiler Plate + Grid = rapid WP deployment, with a good compromise between control, bloat and built in features.
