Even as more experienced user, I find this more confusing and prone to errors than using just "%s" (where possible, of course)

Remind me again: why do we have default date format in WP admin interface? What is it used for, if we are going to override in Themes? I find it really confusing. An an end user, you set a date format in very logical place (General Options), but your theme shows something completely different; and to change it, you have to learn about these "weird" .po and .mo files.
