ideal answer when I assume the role of superthemer:
Currently my theme has 15, uses 14 (personally a modest amount). I guestimate it could use at least 5 more by the time it is done (ETA: Never). I try to theme completely, putting in as much effort as I can. Instability is not an issue. I wish not to sacrifice functionality and usability just because modules don't play nice. I only stop because of theming limits, my being overambitious when trying to implement my ideas, always faulting a bad design. With every theme I think it gets better, and as far I can tell, the bloat trend shall continue. In the end it won't be so bad if modules are stabler and Moore's law still holds.
