From the article:

"To fear that shoddy DIY work will replace good professional design is to suggest that the two are indistinguishable to the untrained eye. But the whole idea of good design, or good writing, is that the untrained audience will, in fact, respond to some work better than others. In a competitive marketplace, clients value that edge."

By using DIY examples from other fields, Postrel makes the case that the design field will only benefit from the "amateurs crashing the gates." Do you agree?
