I actually kind of enjoy powerlines and junction boxes. There's a level of engineering that is both rough and delicate that is magnified by how orderly and chaotic they are alike.

Now if the power lines are at the expense of a view through trees, that'd be more a bummer. Likewise if the trees remain that's a hazard waiting to happen, which is also a bummer.

Buried lines and conduit pipe are preferable in most cases and share similar aesthetic characteristics.
