Reading this unsolicited rant was a waste of my time.
Who is the author to say what a designer should or shouldn't do?
I love the postscript, which shows the author has no idea what he's saying:
"A brief postscript: I fear that some confuse the nature of my posts as being overly curmudgeonly or as intended to incite vitriolic debate. If you read them carefully, though, you’ll realize that even in my crankiest seeming ones, I’m just making an appeal for common sense."
It's a pity that what he's saying is not commonsense, but merely a way of dictating his own narrow view of the world.

Right; if the author applied common sense he would have noticed that the unsolicited rant is just as welcome as the unsolicited redesign, leaving a free slot on HN for something worthwhile.
