True! I am here because I like HN interface and look. There are other sites that provide articles, submissions and discussions on programming and technology. But none do it as well as HN.
One such site is so full of irritating ads, links to other articles and what not that it becomes nearly impossible to focus on the real thing. At another famous site, I am still unable to understand their comment and karma system.
HN is simple, nice and clean. I would say more productive.
It's also quick to load on my iPhone and the linked articles are generally longer and easier to read on said device because there is less context switching that is slow on the device.
