Do we have to sit in judgment? Does it have to be good and bad?

If you have your colors set to 16 bit or higher you should be able to see what praystation.com is about. It is about exploring a new medium. Josh sets up constraints in flash the users come along and interact with those constraints and the results are displayed on the screen.

Some people like the way it looks (they also stare at screensavers sometimes)
Other people don’t get it (why may shapes and colors swirl around)

In another universe Jakob is presenting information. That is all he is presenting, his opinion of what makes web sites easily navigateable.

I think they can both exist in harmony.

Praystation is not trying to sell anything or impart information to the user, hence clicking here and there to explore is a great navigation tool for it.

Jakob is trying to sell his books, future appetencies, and ideas – hence he preaches like a mad dog and eats his own dog food.

Like my mammy used to say -- there is a time and a place for everything.
