I disagree; it might seem pretty from a distance, but that's about the only good thing about the design. The font is almost unreadably tiny, the lines are too long, and the links are in simple boldface, rather than underlined and/or in a different color. The headings are also represented by boldface text of the same size, which actually stands out less than the link text. There's very little visual distinction between the body of the article and the navigation junk surrounding it, making for a visually confusing layout. This is a prime example of why the Readability bookmarklet is great.
