As a devleoper I also deal with theming sites and as far as theming is concerned, I really like Zen as my base theme.

On my work today, I was assigned to create a theme for some mockups that client has made. So I went ahead and visit the Zen link to download it. After downloading, like most of what's happening in Drupal, I don't memorize or I haven't yet the steps in creating the subtheme. So I browse the docs for creating a subtheme and there was a link at the top saying how to automate the process.
