Craigslist finds your argument unpersuasive.

  Craigslist is great design. I'll take that over what "UX experts" come up with any day.

    Craigslist seems overwhelming and like bad design when you first encounter it, but start using it for awhile and being able to go exactly where you need to go with one click and know exactly where on the page it will be located, without scrolling, and have your mouse ready to click it, is actually really nice.

      Craigslist only seems like bad design if you've been programmed to use successful application of current design trends as a shortcut to figuring out whether a site is abandoned, under-funded, or incompetently-executed. Which we all have, and that signal often works so it's not useless. With some "badly designed" (several design trends out-of-date) sites that signal's incorrect, though. For most sites I really miss the blocky header+sidebar-nav+footer-fallback-nav trend of 2006-2012. Fast, efficient, predictable. Current design trends are much worse to use for most purposes. But, of course, if I see a site still using the former design, I assume bad things about it until proven otherwise (at least until I see a recent date associated with something) and I'm not inclined to trust them with any money.

      Even better is you can bookmark what you want, no navigating through an animated SPA.
