Let's call it "form over function."
That landing page example is devastatingly bad. You start with a page that has usage numbers, uptime, support 24/7 and a customer rating above the fold. You end up with a page that lacks all of these advantage and instead looks bland and has horrible typography and even less text contrast.
In line with that, the Dashboard looks more organized in the "after" picture, but that's because it lost most of its useful information.
Author here. I agree that that wasn't a strong example. I wasn't happy with the outcome of those before/after examples, it was rushed before the launch, and I shouldn't have shipped it. Removed. I mostly use these commands on smaller targeted sections on projects that I unfortunately can't screenshot, the case study examples where rushed and didn't communicate the value. Removed them for now, until I can fill in better, real examples.
