Well, in Wordpress, you can provide templates, and end-user can then select which template they want to use on the page/post they edit/create. How hard is that? Also, Wordpress theme only requires a minimum of one file (index.php) but of course it is not ideal to cram the whole theme in one file :) I admit there are plethora of bad themes out there (hard to understand let alone modify), but it is only proofing how easy it is to create a Wordpress theme.
