My thoughts exactly. It's easy for them to say it's about the design after the fact. I'm much more inclined to think it has to do with their market, connections, and blog coverage. Also, the design suffers from a lack of whitespace (feels crowded) and overuse of color. The landing page is way too loud, I have a hard time getting through it.
