Clearly Stockholm Syndrome has set in here.

That page is awful. Period. What do I want from a website that exists to distribute one program? Some effort. Some class. Something more than the software equivalent of being wrapped in greasy newspaper.

When you say "its UX because it's already optimal" you're basically saying "I do not value fit and finish, I am purely interested in functionality, I also make my own underwear out of used socks."

Why am I so upset? It's because of this attitude. Taking the time to make a nice page and present your software with pride shows you care. Using the same old HTML from 1997 says you don't care.

Would it kill programmers to talk to designers and do some knowledge sharing?



You want a pretty web page for a terminal client? Are you not seeing the irony here?


Have you ever actually used an awful web page? Open a current website in IE4 or something. Awful means "doesn't work".
