Meh, it doesn't matter what I pick, they'll hate it anyway, so I may as well pick something I at least like. And you can change your pick if you so desire.

I wouldn't say so either. I just really don't like it personally. If I had to judge it more at an impersonal distance, I'd say it's clearly competent, creative and has a vision of it's own. It's just that the way it achieves all that grates on me
You'd be surprised indeed at how little that helps.
