That may be laying it on a bit thick, but traditional characters do create an overall aesthetic impression that simplified characters cannot match. For example, any attempt to write Chinese calligraphy with simplified characters produces misproportioned and very unsightly characters.
話或許說得太重，但正體字所顯現的整體美感絕非簡體字所能比擬，譬如書法若是用簡體字寫出來，原來的字體骨架七零八落，「東一個窟窿，西一個窟窿」，看上去多彆扭！
