I suppose that most of the people reading slashdot are tech people, that when tey go to a web site, is ussually for gathering information. Meaning they are interested on the site for the text. The knoledge they can get. But there are many other people on this planet. Many companyes must have "nice" images and web designs, in orther to create a "corporative image". those sites are interested in "selling", and therefore may atract more customers by having nice images (oviosly, I am one of the customers that will read every single line of tech especifications).
One down side, I do not think there are any system for diseabled people , that can read pages with many frames, tables, java, or flash animations.
