Nice overview.

Me? I'm still not sure whether I'll go with Hybrid or Thematic...

Sitepoint recently released a book called Wicked WordPress or something along those lines. It shows how to use the Thematic framework, which is a big plus for me, since it's great to have a real book handy when learning something new. Hybrid does not have such a neat book, AFAIK;-)

But Hybrid is sweet in other aspects, so... I'm still unable to decide. I think I'll just pick one or the other for my next project, and then the remaining one for the next project after that. I think I need actual practice and real life experience with both Hybrid and Thematic in order to find my favourite.
