    it looks kinda… like they didn’t really try and make it look decent. iuno, could just be me :P i’m picky.

    Enormous headers feel dated, so design-wise I’m not sure it says “2011.” But I like most other things about it.

    I’m not really all that sure whether they intended TwentyEleven to be a regularly used theme, or is it more of a theme upon which you can build upon?

    Is TwentyEleven more of a teaching theme for people how to create certain aspects of a theme, such as post formats and the like?

    It’s as if WP core dev really like header image.

    Kubrick – has its infamous header forcing users to have it that way.

    2010 – same principle, but even went further, it forces user to use header image – as if one post should have one feature image.

    2011 – same principle, even bigger header image.

    YES:
    users can always use plugin or code it right in the function file to get rid of this feature, but the point of the ‘default’ is a plain simple platform to add things on, why make it the otherwise ?

    NO:
    I’m not saying that Kubrick/2010/2011 are bad design, in fact, they are beautiful and unique, but they are not meant to be a default theme.

    PLEASE:
    Give us a real default theme.

    I still think that this theme, also named Twenty Eleven, should have been used

    I don’t dislike it, but I think it wastes a lot of space. I understand the design principles about letting text “breathe” with lots of whitespace around, but I think that Twenty Eleven overdoes it. The header image is huge and a bit dated (I agree with the other commenters here) and it’s a pity it’s a different size than Twenty Ten, so you’ll need to personalise it again with the new dimensions.

    But overall all I see is whitespace, whitespace, whitespace… I guess this will look good on 2000×1500 resolutions and above, but for us still stuck with 1440×980 or so, it’s a pain to be constantly scrolling down.

    Besides that, it looks good enough :)

    The new default looks really easy to customize. I like that wordpress makes it so that one can really focus on the content with simple templates.
