Love discussions about design. Absolutely love them. It is a topic that will never get old because there is an inexhaustible amount of techniques and styles to explore.
I think when folks get into debates about what style is 'best', they are missing the point of design altogether. What matter is what WORKS.
Sometimes it's the sublime symmetry and spareness of Yugo Nakamara. Sometimes it's the chaos of David Carson.
No style is better than an another b/c all have place. That's the fun part.
