I get you don't like it, but why? I've never heard about "wishy-washy" in relation to Web layout and design. If you could be more specific, that would certainly make your comment better. With that said, I personally think it needs less whitespace and smaller fonts. I'm not a fan of Georgia either. Off-topic: Also, I'm tired of all these Hacker News iPhone apps, scrapers, browser plugins and whatnot. It gets too "meta" for me that these things are posted constantly.

I'm not a design person, I don't have the language to talk about these things, and I certainly can't articulate clearly exact points. I've been as clear as I can, I really have. I took a long time trying to write that comment, trying to explain my point, and trying to be clear. It just feels, well, I don't know, "Energy Free", "Hypnotic", "Soporific". There's no sharpness, no hustle, no contrast, but those are terms that make you think of image contrast and sharpness, and that's not what I mean. My father was a sign-maker, and he loved jobs that were specified by an architect. Why? Because they produced gorgeous designs that were harmonious and free flowing. The signs were specified to fit with the color scheme and blend with the decor. As a result, he would always be called back 6 months later to augment or replace the signage. I wonder if I feel a little the same here. I'm slowly being hypnotized by "beautiful design."
