Anything look different?
I believe I'm a pretty good programmer. I can do Java, perl, C.. and so on. You know, all the basics. Heck, I can even write semi-decent HTML and JavaScript, but make me do css and well, er, design things? Forget it.
I cannot do a decent web site design to save my life.. so why bother? I've given up on trying to have an original-design. Everyone else just copies everybody, so why not.
Downsides: Lack of originality, no feeling of accomplishment, diminished sense of self-wroth.
Upsides: Less work, site doesn't look like ass.
Canned styles win.

Compromise - canned styles with modified colours.
That way, you get to feel like you *did* something to it, and you get to spend a pleasing chunk of time playing with a colour picker.
