I don't know about superior but it didn't allow one to butcher their page with custom themes such as yellow text on white background. It became a cesspool of awful web design. Facebook was simple and clean.
- jeegsy 7y agoAwful or not, the ability to customize themes etc encouraged a lot of folks to learn basic web dev. The level of 'control' goes a long way towards the general point the article is making. All that has been lost for the sake of a 'simple' and 'clean' interface.
