Maybe their sites look like crap because they're on standard-size resolutions trying to design for outdated resolutions.

Also, even though your stats may suggest a 1024 preference it doesn't speak to a surfers appreciation for the 800px standard when they want to run multiple windows on their screen.

Since we're talking about numbers and majorities here, I think I'm pretty safe in saying that the majority of surfers don't tile windows side by side so they can see two sites at once when surfing for entertainment reasons.

Finally, I can see sites actually getting smaller in the future rather than bigger as content is designed for the smaller screen size of wireless devices.

Okay, so at some unknown time in the future, when the numbers show that the majority of surfing is done on little 3" screens, we can demand that everyone's site be 170 pixels wide. *Until* then, designing for the majority of surfers is best.
