That website has a surprisingly boring design. I haven't looked at it in years, and was expecting some impressively clean and elegant design. But it looks like a Wordpress site.

I'll be honest...I like it. Boring with easily readable content is far better than most of the other junk that is put forward nowadays...

Two recent events suggest to me that this type of analytical look on interaction modes is commonly underappreciated in the industry. I write this partially from the perspective of a disillusioned student of interaction design.

1. Recent news of vehicle manufacturers moving away from touchscreens

2. Chatbot gold rush of 2018 where most business were sold chatbots under the guise of cost-saving

What isn’t “clean” about it?

I’ve found it incredibly easy to navigate and digest its content. What more are you looking for?

Like every query language ever.

I'm not sure the distinction between things we are searching for and things we're actively making is as different as the author thinks.

Maybe you could do a CSS redesign of it ? You could even hold a contest on Twitter or on blogs to compare redesigns/relooking people are coming up with ?

That could be interesting.
