I recently just put together a rather simple theme for my Wordpress blog. I used Twitter Bootstrap with a Bootswatch base theme, and I had a working theme in just a few hours. There are still a few things I need to do on it, but I have to admit that being mostly in Front-End, Wordpress is incredibly easy in it's approach for me to extend it. So that'd be my vote.
