I don't think it's ugly whatsoever. It just doesn't have the spectacular characteristics that those old ones did, back in their heyday. However I would hate to see these beautiful old depression era skyscrapers demolished. Hopefully, the empty ones can be gutted inside, reconstructed, and restored again.
I agree with you. I don't think it's ugly at all. Maybe some minor sprucing up, but I actually like the variety.

As for the depression era 'scrapers: most of the big ones are being redeveloped, or there are plans in the works. Detroit is more hopeful than ever in my lifetime.
