Whilst it's appealing to have the benefits of Grid Beam and be able to knock something together quickly, there's something hard to pinpoint about the clunky aesthetic and lack of a design look that's deeply unappealing.
Where is the thought about proportions, beauty in structure, care in construction etc. The Arts and Craft in the late 1800s / early 1900s cherished these aspects and it has stood the test of time, whereas these things tend to look like they were built by a crank who had few people to let down but themselves.
Maybe a designer or a more artistic engineer could take Grid Beam and tweak it, provide some better guidance / templates, and inject a bit of love and creative spirit into a version 2?
