Why does lwn.net look like its straight out of the 90s? Poor ugly duckling... surely there is a designer out there willing to give you some love.

You mean why does it load instantly, pulling 100K, and not need JS and Disqus for comments? After a makeover it'll want to pull 2M+ for a short piece of text and 5M if there's a few images.
Like with HN I prefer speed and simple for a text medium over watching it assemble load on demand JPGs like we're on dialup. :)

lol you think pages in the 90s loaded instantly? No, poor design doesn't have to do with loading time. CSS load time is minimal.
You could style it up a bit for sure - on the other hand, that thing loads fast and is readable well. Reading it on a FullHD screen actually shows content instead of "cool" empty space where you have to scroll like a crazy man.
There are too many pages in the current mainstream that make the fan of my i7-laptop spin up to the max just look fancy.
Who cares? It's fine, it does its job, it's clean and it's clear, no garbage.
