My colleague Joen Asmussen writing about the process of shaping the new default theme for WordPress 3.6 (that happens to be powering this blog now):

Designing Twenty Thirteen has been a pretty remarkable experience, mainly because I got to work with such an amazing community.

Joen and the WordPress community have outdone themselves with this one. I find myself saying it every year, but I don’t see how I’ll switch away from this one.
