I think we have a terrible tendency in this industry to confuse aesthetic
and utilitarian judgements. A thing of great ugliness can sometimes also be
of great utility; conversely, there are languages that are beautiful but
useless.

Almost everyone finds XML Schema ugly. But a lot of people also find it
useful.
