Yep. It's not 1995 anymore. I'm personally much more likely to come back to sites that have nice, flashy (no pun intended) layouts, menus etc.
I'm not stuck on dial up anymore, which made me prefer simple sites of mainly text.
It varies by the type of site of course, but most sites I visit have embedded videos (sports sites, news sites, movie sites) etc. and flashy layouts--think espn.com etc.
