I've grown out of being impressed by flashy and difficult to understand data visualizations. I'm much more impressed by novel insight, clearly presented, in familiar ways.
It wouldn't make sense to say "I've grown out of being impressed by complex prose" - you're welcome to enjoy Faulker or not, but he simply didn't have the same goals as the authors of the Stripe documentation, and judging both pieces of writing by the same standard is basically pointless (except, perhaps, as an art project of its own).
I'd even apply this to coding itself. Day to day, I think everybody around me should be writing Blub, grug-brain code, but I'm happy there are people trying creative, weird languages and mind-bending ideas elsewhere and I'm curious what they find out.
Flashy trashy is just crap. Some might call it art but then again everything is art these days.
When you see a broken toilet sitting in an art gallery selling for 5 million dollars and someone thinks "I could do that, this is stupid", they have completely missed the point. The art is not the broken toilet, the art is selling it for 5 million dollars - which is something the complaining person definitly cannot do. That's the art.
