Maybe it's because I was too young, and maybe it's because Javascript and HTML were harder back then. Back then it was a problem to add some colors and animations to the webpage, and today the problem is not to overload your webpage with colors and animations.
I'd say there are three main considerations now:
1) You should use the full real estate available to you. 3-column designs with the content taking only half the screen made sense with 4:3 monitors, but not with 16:0
2) You must have a theme page for small devices like phones.
3) Visual candy is to be used to draw attention in a pleasant way to important things to click or read-- and must never, ever distract. Nobody's impressed by bling anymore.
