So?

I mean, I agree it's bad UI, but some people will absolutely love it. I mean if it was so universally regarded as a bad UI we wouldn't be seeing the same pattern on every third website, would we?

It's all different strokes for different folks. Doesn't appeal to me (or to you), but I think there's enough people who prefer prettiness over ease-of-use; after all, look how many people still love their Macbooks, even though it's still got pretty a poor UI.
