Very good principles. I would say that fast and lightweight "true" minimalist design, wildy creative maximalist design filled with MIDIs, animated GIFs, tiled backgrounds, etc., and everything in between are fine; but what I cannot stand are the bloated, childish, mobile-centric "chickenshit minimalist" designs that have become so commonplace these past several years. (I assume you know the ones I'm referring to.)
Thank you for your kind words, my friend. I agree entirely about those sorts of websites. They're unironically more awful looking than any website of the distant past, while paradoxically consuming vastly more resources. Almost like the web equivalent of those luxury faded/dirt-covered jeans.
