"Judging a project's worthiness by its website is exactly like judging a book by its cover. It's pointlessly idiotic." A valid point, but there's another side floating around here unmentioned. I've lost count of the times I've had CS types sneer at my chosen profession (web development) as "child's play" and "not real programming". And yet for a task that is apparently infantile it's instructive to see how frequently it's done poorly by so-called "real" programmers.
