I like things that just work. I like them a lot. For example:

• Flickr
• pencil/pen & paper, therefore:
  • the hipster pda
• my 1991 Honda Accord LX
• iTunes
• Ikea assembly instructions
• Russian aircraft
• Google search
• Target’s product branding

I might add a few more as they pop up. It’s always interesting, however, to see trends (if there are any) about this sort of thing. What do you find just works?
