The comments on the post mirror your comment. I tend to agree that the cleaner the design, the easier it is from a user point-of-view, but I also find that designers rarely think about the user experience first. I know when I'm designing I am just trying to make something that look great. The minimalist features that are coming into play look good these days, mainly because they aren't the same things we've been seeing for the last 5, 10, 20 years. If you look at /r/crappydesign, you see most of the things pointed out are things that look like they were designed and coded in the 90s. It's "outdated" just like those glass blocks that used to be hip.
