It does seem like a rather ugly design.

It's not just the design. It is indeed an eyesore, but just due to its height compared to everything else in the city it sticks out like a sore thumb within an otherwise exceptionally historic and beautiful city.

I can totally see why Parisians hate it. Even as a tourist, it's made me wince whenever I've seen it.
