It certainly hasn't caught on with the general public. The AIA did a survey a couple years ago...pretty much all the favorable views were about buildings older than WWII. The lame explanations in the AR letters were a mix of denial, anger, and the typical "but the public shops at wal mart."

I like a lot of newer buildings, and really love some eras. Absent a Paris-type vernacular, I like a mix of styles. Quite a bit of great stuff is happening now. Yet I'd take classical styles in a heartbeat.
