I was initially drawn to IHT (and Weir) because of the interesting dynamic presentation and useful Clippings tool. Most news sites have to offer the same old boring works-everywhere column layout. IHT stands out because they offer some options that work pretty reliably and predictably. Looks great too.

Perhaps the "formidable" lives in the heavy reliance on client-side javascript processing. Complete stories are downloaded and manipulated by client-side javascript, the multi-column vs single column presentations which still know how to "go to next page" by clicking anywhere on the story. The Clippings are more client-side javascript. Perhaps "formidable" also means "won't work for many people." Frankly I didn't give much credence to javascript for anything more than boring rollovers before learning about IHT and Weir.

But yes, in general I agree, "simpler is just better."
