The reason (which Matt pointed out) is that there are too many English-speaking users, who won't like the many __(), and _e()s when manually changing strings in their blogs!

Shouldn't be a problem, they can use a .po like everybody else...

If other weblog software and CMS are able to provide everything
internationalized, there should be no reason why the WP defaul ttheme
isn't.

Not to start this debate again, but the idea is for the default theme to be natively translated to each language rather than using gettext. We see a notable decrease in theme related support issues when gettext is not present. Non-english speaking users benefit even more because they don't have to look at English strings when modifying their theme. sprintf(__("The e-mail was sent successfully to %s's e-mail address."), $user_login); is not very easy to read, especially if you don't speak English.

Regardless, I think sandbox will use gettext.
