At some level I understand that it's kind of a form of artistic expression, and I understand and appreciate that. If people like making pretty and super-interactive websites because it's a way to make themselves happy, by all means they should do it. It's not radically different that someone getting into painting or sculpting in my mind. I think I mostly get annoyed with stuff like news websites of personal blogs having all this extra crap added to it. At the end of the day, I view these things as somewhat utilitarian; I don't go onto a blog to be wowed by a million JavaScript effects, I go there to read text, and maybe some pictures to help elaborate on stuff.
