I agree with this in principle and my own personal site is basically "just" a website, but the lack of _any_ styling to make things look just a little nicer always turned me off to this rant in particular. I am not good with CSS, but there's plenty of essentially drop-in CSS files out there that would take a text heavy barebones site like this from "basically a text file open in notepad" readability to something a normal person would actually want to read. It's so easy that there's really no excuse not to grab one and drop it in.

edit: looks like I'm not the only one, there's a collection of <adjective>motherfuckingwebsite URLs floating around: https://github.com/lyoshenka/awesome-motherfucking-website

You could take the original motherfuckingwebsite's approach and allow the user to set a default CSS in their browser.

This is basically how programmers use terminals. But somehow we thought that "users" want things differently ...
