MAkes sense. Had another look earlier. First section should be a lot less, well, insulting. Explain the basics, link to a help comm and the styles guide, let people know the very very basics.
For a lot of people, they just want to copy in some bespoke code (like the share this I'm working on that miss_s_b wants), so the "go away" bit is really really bad.
Second section should expand on that, link to proper wiki pages, style guides, etc, but also explain what a style is, and what layers are, with the different types.
"Your journal appearance is determined by the current Style you have running. a Style is made up of a number of Layers. These can be public Layers from the supported Styles, or your own custom layers created below. All styles will need a Layout layer, which will call the basic functions from the Core, and will also create an Auto layer, which, really, you don't want to touch from here, it takes all its data from the Wizard you've already used. You can also create a User layer, which can override or rearrange Core or Layout functions, there are some worked eaxamples on the Wiki here"
Wording something like that will explain it fairly quickly while giving enough detail that it's comprehensible, and people can go look up the rest if/when they need it. The crucial bit about User layers and simple overrides is the important thing.
You can then just have a column for Layers, and a column for Styles. I don't know what the limits are for how many of each you can have, but unless it's massive, you can probably delete the sub pages. If it is a lot, then only display current and X most recent, with links to the full sub page?
Replace the 'delete' boxes with a checkbox and mass delete button, don't suppose it'd be possible to have mass editing with them forcing new tags?
Slightly clearer instructions on the Styles page (or column) saying what you need to do, make sure you can always copy across public layers, and probably do the same for the Layers section.
I'd also want a basic version of the Styles page, without the editing setup, somewhere in the theme select area of the basic setup, knowing you can switch back and keep your basics easily is something a lot of people don't actually know...

It's very much a stream of consiousness, but it makes sense.
