The ones who treat a website as their personal taste vehicle are the designers! Over and over I see tiny illegible fonts and gray-on-gray buttons being defended by the designer who made it.
Maybe I have bad taste - I’ve built enough websites to know that good design is hard and doesn’t come naturally to me. But the professionals seem to have a hard time with being dispassionate about their own ideas.
I think there was another comment among these that said it best: "graphics designers". The main conflict seems to arise between usability (UX) and the "view". It may look pretty but if it's unusable it's a showstopper.
Sorry for regurgitating what someone else posted but it really resonated with my experience.
