I agree with the usability; in terms of aesthetics, it also simply feels heavy-handed.

I don't know where to look, or where to click, because there's simply no nuance -- it's all big boring blocks of colors. It's the opposite of delightful.

I generally agreee with the feeling, but keep in mind that on a regular page, the elements would not be all packed together as in this showcase. I imagine the feel would be substantially different.

Just goes to show how subjective design is. I feel the exact opposite way on all counts. I find this trend to be refreshing and utterly delightful :)
