Yeah. It's kinda funny we read blog posts, or comments complaining about the lack of a good consistent UI and then, complain that on the web "everything is boring because it's homogenous".
If people wanna have fun designing a cool, original website design, go for it. But if we need a fast, easy UI for someone that just needs get the job done, consistency/familiarity is obviously important.
