I would go a step further and say this often also applies to GUIs in general and not just websites. Because too often the problem is not the framework, it's the little amount of thought that goes into the UI. If someone spent time on it usually it's so it looks a bit nicer, actual considerations about workflows and expectations of real users seem to be ignored completely.
And then there are user interfaces where the developers actually tried to make a difference but stopped somewhere in the middle, like with current Firefox versions. Don't get me wrong, I think the UI customization feature is fantastic and I love that it now supports a large zoom indicator/control in addition to larger address bars and tabs - as the first line of support for my relatives I appreciate that this is now more visible.
But then there's that tiny download button/indicator which, for less tech-savvy people, is often simply invisible. As much as I dislike the huge bar at the bottom that was introduced with Chrome, I have to admit it is better out of the box than a tiny blue arrow that desperately tries to be more visible than all kinds of website animations and ads.
