I'm using the minimalistic theme at 80% zoom. I find it easier on the eyes and much less cluttered with useless junk (thread title between every post in large font) and it uses the whole screen instead of just 2/3 resulting in far less scrolling. I use a lesser zoom because otherwise it feels too big. Unfortunately, it is missing a lot of functionality (although this is being worked on ).

With the default theme, I feel like I'm looking at the front page of Maemo.org - a lot of unrelated articles, not a thread. I understand the desire to have some continuity between, the front page and the forums. It seems to me this goes a little too far. I suppose in time I would get used to the color scheme, but the layout is a lot tougher.

In the meantime, I'll continue using the minimalistic theme and sacrifice functionality.
