WordPress gets heat because of its ubiquity, kind of in the same way Microsoft does. It's the Ugly Beige Box of a Computer of the design world, united in a sort of lazy mediocrity of sameness. It gets slagged off precisely because it's too easy to implement on a basic for even the most dunderheaded out there. It provides _just enough_ aesthetic to make it not look like the site was designed using Paint Shop Pro/Netscape Composer, which is good enough for the overwhelming majority.
Hot on its heels, as I mentioned in my note above, is Twitter Bootstrap. It, too, is customisable, but it also is in the 'just enough' aesthetic category as WordPress out of the box, that many of its users just implement is as-is, unleashing even more mediocre, banal websites on the world.
Never mind RIP Flash ... RIP Creativity.
