That is indeed a very interesting post. I can understand the author's feelings very well, it is very easy to overdo and overcomplicate the stuff. That's why we do everything on simple, purely functional basis; we refuse over-complicated guidelines, strict rules and formal complications. So far so good, the articles are not always top-quality, but they are still better then much of the articles already in there.
See for yourself our recent changes:

Hope we will have a chance discuss these things in person ;-)
