Why? The whole message is about finding joy in creating whatever you want, something that is ostensibly you, in a way in which you find joy in creating it, regardless of what other people think of the final product.
The fact that many people here find it ugly and off-putting only makes the site, and the message in this piece, more endearing to me. If you're griping about the appearance, or think that the message is lost because of the ugliness, you've missed the point.

That's the interesting part. I thought I agreed but it turns out I didnt. I realized this once my impression of his website's visuals went from positive to negative. I actually just found the simple/minimalist version beautiful in some way.
I mean it's great that he likes it - I have no problem with that. My conclusion was more that I would never be happy publishing something like that.
