I wish I could do a general reply to everyone (new to HN) but I think I temporarily confused themeforest with themegarden (and similar.) Well, they are all similar, but it's mostly in WordPress that the prefab stuff really bothers me. For quick 'gotta get the point across' for html5 or trans to ruby or whatever, yeah, themeforest definitely makes sense.
We deal with mostly very design-heavy, frontend-ish startups, where I work, so that may be why we hate spec and prefab work so much. We value originality but YES most definitely agreed, there's a time and a place for it!
