Over the years I grow to despise the "minimalism" design trend. I want my computer to be like a newspaper, not a coffee table book. While not throwing accessibility out.
The main thing with "cluttered" interfaces is whether they are designed to work within limits of band with, processing power, screen size etc. If the clutter is being sourced from 25 different JavaScripts chit chatting with various servers about what they're going to do, and everywhere you mouse moved it requests 5 new webpages to show up on top of the content, then that sucks. But if the available info is squished together on one or 2 displays that is useful.
One thing I don't need is a bunch of "whitespace" forced on me. If my eyes need a rest I can look at the wall.
