Level of respect appropriate AOT depends on the context of the opinion, and 
the qualifications of he who makes one. For purposes of this thread topic, 
the problems described have 0 to do with HTML.

Again, _design_ is here orthogonal to HTML, and as web surfer providing no 
citations to back up your opinion or contradict my statements, yours is pure 
useless opinion. Pretty != well-designed. Pretty != usable. Pretty != 
accessible. Pretty ~= bling, which more often reduces usability than enhances it.

All that said, there are some basic fedoraproject style features that are 
better than average. It's just that it has the foundational flaws as I 
described in both words and picture.
