The design is *the* most important part of the web site. Period! No one
cares how it works, only the user experience of the site matters. Do you
think users give a hoot how facebook works?
Yes, I don't try to argue against the importance of the design. The
point is that it's an orthogonal feature and that it can be worked on
mostly independently. You focus on the design and w0rp mostly focuses on
the technical side, which is probably part of the reason why the
discussion doesn't work out very well.
Also who starts a project without designing it first? I mean honestly,
why start such a major piece of work without even a vague spec? Has w0rp
even asked users here what the site needs to encompass? Has the question
been asked what content must exist, who needs what info and where,
colour schemes, for mobile devices? etc.

He basically just took the mockup of Aleksandar Ruzicic, which was met
with some optimism, and brought it to live. AFAICS that's all he really
did WRT the design. The content was basically meant to stay the same as
it is now*.
* Honestly, apart from some important key parts, such as the front page
or the download page, it would be insane to start over and redo the
contents, just for the sheer amount of work that this would mean.
