I read through the comments an often saw the same sentiment: "Modern Webdesign is bad, artistic expression is bad". Which strikes me as odd. Sure, there is a place for "boring" and information-dense webdesign. If I go through wikipedia and search for something, I want information, and modern webdesign would be bad in that regard. But there is also a place for modern design in websites. Company websites for example. There, the overall design language is part of the brand identity and defines how I see your company. I cant help but see those "bootstrappy-boring" company websites as very unprofessional (although I know I shouldnt make that connection), and I know at least from asking my family members that this effect is only more pronounced in people that have no direct connection to the tech or design industry. We have to recognize that we are a very little minority - many people dont _think_ about websites - they _feel_ them.
