Watch a casual users use a website or program, and for the most part they stumble their way through.

Only via good design do they stumble in useful directions.

Developers have better models how the program/website is arranged and so don't need good design as much, and see overt styling as noise.

(I spoke in absolutes for brevity. Exceptions will apply.)
