I’ve seen/hated those too, especiallly if they’re the mouse over drop down kind
that block out the page content just because you happened to move your mouse
over it.

Which is a sign of poor design. I don’t think we actually disagree on
this - the design needs to look good and be usable. A beautiful site
that’s useless is no good.
Good website design has to make the site useful - otherwise, no matter
how pretty it is, it’s poorly designed.

Yep.
That’s one of the drivers for putting nav links at the bottom of the page.
