I guess I could be one of the latter who is always outnumbered by "design whores". I've come to the following conclusion: Something "cool" is fleeting while something "functional" stands the test of time. Trying to get a balance between the two is the difficult part.
It's great if you can make shit slide around the screen and do funky stuff, but if it adds nothing to function, why do it? It might impress on the first, second, maybe third use, but after that, in my opinion, it becomes an annoyance. [/my personal rant]
