I think the answer is it depends upon what your purpose is. If you are
focusing on a "techie" market, then you may not care. If you are
focusing on a market which includes lots of non-techies (e.g. business
people), then you do care.
I sometimes wish people would do some thinking about why they are
developing a homepage before starting to write their code...
