Funny, I think it’s the opposite. When Google designs something, it’s lauded as good because they have the funds and the talent, so they must be right. Startups doing a ‘Show HN’ on the other hand get real, brutally honest critiques.
In a ‘Show HN’, G+ would receive criticism that gray text on a light gray background is a bad idea, that the font-weight is too light, and that there’s too little contrast between the various sections on the page. As someone with bad eyesight, G+ is unusable to me (without loading other CSS).
