And it looks totally fine. Thanks for making sure those gates are kept though.

So what should be done to appease you? Add some corporate memphis? Maybe do some cool brutalist stuff that gets designers excited and that no other human being in the world wants?

You're watering down the definition of gatekeeping. God forbid someone add snark to an opinion on web homogenization. At least they credit it to looking nice at the end:

Yup, it's a popular template because it looks good and works very reliably.
The page concludes “Honestly this template does look really nice, though.” I’m not really sure what the author’s point is.
Is there a higher point? It seems to be a joke about the prevalence of one particular website style. Sometimes the chicken just needed to get to the other side.
What are the gates in this situation? The gates of design? What do the gates keep out? I'm honestly confused.
Add slow scroll hijacking.
