WP Themes are Difficult to Select
They all look attractive and interesting at first but if you try many of them you will probably find there are problems with most and those problems will show up soon after you look through your work. Many other problems show up after doing some work, and especially adding corrections and deleting other stuff etc.
Things don't follow the font you are working with, picture titles never get centered, and titles in the sidebar become repeated and redundant for mysterious reasons. Often its impossible to find ways to change settings...I know with me I hit on that stuff almost accidentally. Then if I have to go back I mostly get lost looking for my place in the settings mode.
Do the free themes get put out there for free BECAUSE they are flawed? Why do some cost and others are free? Who thinks it would be worth it to pay for a "better" theme and find this work much easier as a result?
I mean it's ok but I just want to know if other people find these free themes much harder to tweak than we are led to believe?

I paid for a theme to build a different site. and even that on I paid for has one glitch in it.
It is hard to tell until you get into the guts of it and add contents and functions.
some creators try to rush a product out to market, but even they themselves may overlook one small detail.
I an having a tizzy with one such theme creator right now.
I can relate to that. I don't really like my current theme and I'm still on the lookout for a better theme. In my opinion, paid themes (especially those that you can order and customize) looks infinitely better.
It is easy to change themes but then I have to go through every page and post to see that everything is in place. I use my test site for that.
The free theme tend to be simplified for use and some are limited it the options you can use. They are not flawed just somewhat limited. The paid themes open up more options for you.

Being an IT PRO my goal was to set up a series of basic parameters and find one thing or family of themes that could be altered virtually any way that I wanted. it was easy after that.
