All those sites look nice, but the php is way too cluttered indeed and 
Ruby's, while nice looking, is not 'free-flowing'. This is like the zen 
of css, all very nice and such but not even making use of this basic 
html capability. imho, fixing your site to 800x600 is not the way to go.

I agree. A good looking site should be coupled with good and easy to 
find content. The current D site has a lot of easy to find content, 
which is most important. Note how much info there is on every page 
without looking all cluttered and noisy like the php site, those make me 
want to leave ASAP.
