I think the title of this article is a little misleading. It's easy to bash Craigslist over their dated (or lack of) style, but the problem with Craigslist really comes down to usability, which is not the same thing as prettiness. Craigslist could make lots of feature and UI improvements to their site to make it easier to find and post, but they choose not to for the most part. If they did, sites like PadMapper probably wouldn't exist. Instead of innovating themselves, they've focused on trying to kill other companies innovating in this space.
