I put up a landing page and "Showed HN" a few weeks ago created on unbounce. The general thought was that it seemed spammy. Yet, many of the items on the checklist were covered...what gives?
Just because the general thought on HN is that something seems spammy, doesn't mean it is. Focus on results, not the emotional feelings of people who may not even be your audience.
I don't know the answer either way, to be completely honest, but my personal view is that that particular style of landing page gives the notion that "this site is such a new idea in my head that I haven't even begun it!". That's my opinion, anyway.

I feel like that in relation to LaunchRock pages now that so many throwaway projects are using it. Same feeling I get from unthemed Bootstrap sites too.
