Brutalism has earned a bad reputation, so this term is at best backhanded praise if not an insult. I personally much prefer a realistic 3-dimensional "skeuomorphic" design to flat-looking stuff. Highly technical imitation of reality is quite pleasing on the eyes. It also looks more serious, while the flat stuff often looks like a cartoon for nursery children.
