The problem is that there's a lot of people who get carried away by it, and thus forget about everything else (usability, for instance). While I was reading the book you've made available recently, I got pretty upset because you didn't write not even nearly enough about what should be avoided in web design. The error compounds because this book is aimed at professionals coming from printed media, and those are the ones who are most likely to need such good advice. Man, there are reasons for why you've made it to where you are today. What you may think it's obvious or just common sense isn't neither one nor the other to a lot of people, especially people with a background in a related, but <strong>different</strong> topic. So yes, you are right, but you're not telling us enough. Just my humble opinion. Beauty is an important aspect of interface design, no doubt about this.
