so this guy over here says tao is better but everyone i talked to on the forum so far said use zen
http://brianegan.com/drupal-theming-zen-vs-tao/
he talks about not having to go through firebug and all this stuff just to find out where things are in zen but with tao "if you want to avoid Firebug Purgatory, clean up your code, organize it in a way that’s logical to you, and make sites that are truly spectacularrrrr, the choice is clear: use Tao."
now that article is from 2010 but the tao theme has a 7.x version in beta im still new to drupal but im guessing that means it works with drupal 7(correct me if im wrong)
anybody out there have serious experience with either one of these themes?

better is mostly subjective. Use the base theme that you are most comfortable with and that includes the feature set you seek. No one base theme is a perfect fit for every design or every user. Hence why there are multiple base themes available and will always be more than one approach to themeing. Regardless of the base theme used, understanding the underlying markup (HTML/CSS) is necessary. Thus using firebug will still come into play when you need to alter the style or override some CSS already being used. It's a useful tool to learn as it aids, not only in themeing your own site but in learning how other sites are themed and how to implement those things you find interesting from other sites/themes.
I like VM's comments,
I like VM's comments, personally I lean to Omega or Adaptive, the point being there is more than one good base theme and the choices span even more that Zen and Tao.
