Super positive. We love it.

Blows my mind. But that's the point - it's really like two very, very different ways of thinking about, approaching/creating and evaluating projects (in this case, a web site.) On one side, they have "an eye for design" that really appreciates this novel UI design, but on this other side, we have that eye for efficiency and... ahem... user experience. (Rather than how a designer might experience something.)

Oh, thanks for the link, this gives it a lot more context. A website made just to show his designer friends who are also pressured by the market to not value UX. Makes sense they romanticize UX and don't actually bother with it themselves.
That's not really the point we were making and I'm not sure you have a correct understanding of UX, as you're conflating UX and visual design.

There's no pressure in the market to not value UX. Everyone wants and needs that. If anything there are pressures to only value efficiency rather than delight. Sometimes "fun" isn't efficient.
