Nielsen's at it again - he's just published his list of top design mistakes. Although some of my pet peeves are listed (photos that enlarge 10% or not at all, misuse of Flash, no contact info), he also lists things that are sometimes difficult to get around (fixed widths) while keeping aesthetics intact.
Although Mr. Nielsen's website follows these usability rules, I can't help but feel it's terribly ugly, and hard to navigate. His home page, especially, is messy and hard to read, and his bare bones navigation forces the user to continually return to it to navigate. I'd really like to see him try to marry design with usability.
