A whole load of colorful background and heavy styling would be bad 
styling. Look at Mengu's mockup: http://i.imgur.com/VRmCwCT.png. You see 
that and immediately go, "Cool, let's read that". You look at a bare 
page you go "Urgh, this better be good".

That stuff does matter even though we know it somehow shouldn't and like 
to think we personally are immune to it.
