Honestly, it just depends on the other houses in the area. If the house fits in with the general area, I think it's fine, if it sticks out then you get the awesome or ugly opinions.
I like this "modern" one a lot better than the one from the OP. These are the newest in our city, starting in the mid-$1.1 million for 4,000 sf, and I think it's kind of ugly:
We also have a few like this, which I find more attractive:
None of the new houses pictured in this thread are appealing to me - at all!
I prefer pre-1935

Agreed - people say they will be outdated in 40 years.. most likely not standing! I've seen 10-20 year old homes that show more age-related damage than a 100 year old home. Materials aren't what they used to be.
Could be the newer homes are making their dated houses look shabby. They probably need to step up their game and improve/update their own homes. Property values should increase, right?
Are they jealous?
I would say, having seen the same scenario (people moving into a neighborhood and building a house that completely ignores the neighborhood it is in and destroys the feel of the neighborhood by being so obviously out of place) acted out several times, not hardly, in response to your question about jealousy. That would be your own bias talking.
The house that was posted that was replaced by the monstrosity was just fine - looked like quite a nice house of its type.
here's the beauty that was demolished to build the mcmansion
that looks so cozy and inviting "come on in, we just got the grill started"
ahhhhhhhh
