The fact that all these "stackoverflow-like" sites copy the simple SO design is a testimony to the designer that designed it.
For years before stackoverflow, everyone copied the PHP-BB UI. Stackoverflow changed it.
New sites can come up with a better and different design. The ones that do, stand a better chance of making it big than ending up as many of those stackexchange1.0 sites (that died).
