I'm glad it worked out ok for y'all. I was out for most of July and looking at what happened on meta, it seems like emotions were high, but controlled. That's commendable. Better to show your feelings directly than keep it pent up inside. I should mention that work is being done to fix some of the problems other sites have reported after the launch. These sites really are tests of the framework and the design is not set in stone just yet. Nor will it ever be finalized as long as we keep iterating on new features for the sites.

You say "I'd also like to point out that, well, the designer is not going to have the same grasp of a site's "uniqueness" as someone who has been on it a while will have." - it makes me screeeeeam. I'm not a web developer, I'm not a frontend developer, but more than ten years ago I made a certain web application for a client. It started with a HTML prototype with 5 pages; I showed it and explained it; I improved it because of feedback. And then I built the whole thing. Client was happy. This is how you do design. I figured that out on my own without even the most basic design education.

Well, ya. And I feel that's a core point of unhappiness - and I've actually talked about it here. I'm not a web designer either. or any sort of programmer. I just hang out a bunch of sites and talk to people ;)
