People want "flashiness" nowadays. I've had to deal with this line of thinking far too often. I'd much rather have a simple site as a collection of links: it loads quickly, looks clean, and it's easy to maintain.
I can see that being an aspect, but there's gotta be thousands of flashy HTML templates for this out there, most of them probably created by Tumblr users.
And well, I feel like being able to make it precisely your own thing, that's also worth a lot. People put so much effort into their online brand, I feel like they would appreciate this freedom quite a bit.
