Emulating MapBox

Did you see this new Esri ArcGIS for Developers website go up? My initial comment:

Yea, HTML5 is teh awesome, right? But you can’t but help to notice that it looks like someone else in the industry. Noted others:

Thank god MapBox patented cartoon maps in circles http://t.co/HGg7fqQyqs

Still, when the 800lb (363kg) gorilla does things like this, you can’t but help call it a dick move. The Dude Not Cool
