Indeed, I think people underappreciate the advantage of this.

In the past I've designed some pages that were objectively better than the existing patterns, but people wouldn't get it (only hackers, in the hacker news sense of the word, would get it and like it). Now, years of gradual change later, lots of sites work this way and people get it.

These days I notice when sites don't work like most; it makes it really hard to find anything, even though the design might be pretty great on its own.
