    I read until this and then I had a legitmate response:

    "Good Design Looks Good"

    A successful design doesn't have to match your subject of opinion of looking good. However a great design not only accomplishes it's primary goal beyond expectation, but it is also stylish and attractive in the eyes of many.

    Because the writer (and his colleagues) fail to find this goal doesn't mean others should strive to, or that it's impossible.

    Sounds like this bloke has been burned by shitty designers honestly, and it's a shame it led him to write this article in the tone that he did. It deserves a proportionate response from someone who can put what he's saying into proper perspective. Though that would be kind of useless since it's already out there and then eventually some client will use this to be a pain in the ass to designers who legitimately know what they're doing.
