Ask HN: Is the word beautiful becoming overused?
Every time now, when I see a product announcement and how their interface is beautiful, I find myself groaning.

More accurate: "...made with the hope of getting TechCrunch" "...made with the money of me-too venture capitalists" "...made with the bare minimum of technical effort needed" "...made with far too much design and technical effort" aaargh.
