I agree Master Class is too much[1], but it's still better than most sites I deal with today: the information is easy to find, doesn't overload your browser, and plays nice with extensions. Plus, it's usable on mobile. Not optimized, sure, but at least it doesn't break my ability to use it on mobile: I can just zoom in as necessary.
But that's more of an indictment of out-of-control web design that's all too common.
[1] I think the author could plausibly mean "class" in the sense of "lesson", since he contrasts it with the other, newer site design and uses them to illustrate the difference purposes, but a) that's a bit of a stretch, and b) he never frames it as a lesson or uses the word "class" for the rest of the article.
