I agree that this building isnt exactly the best look for midtowns tallest building, but I wouldn't call it ugly. Uninspired? Yes. A bit blocky? Yeah. But it isnt eve close to some of the worst Manhattan is seeing right now, and if built (in its current state) it would, at its worst, bolster the skyline with a big rectangle. The cantilevered bit that looks 'like its been hit with a machete' is not really that hard to look at and breaks up an otherwise boring facade. Is it close to perfect? No, but alot of people seem to really hate this and it just seems unwarrented to me.
