My designer says 3D Text is outdated and looks horrible, is this true? [closed]

My website uses plenty of 3D Text, however my designer says it looks horrible and is old-fashioned "WordArt", and we should opt for 2D Text instead.

Is this true that 3D Text is old-fashioned or horrible?

Personally I think that 3D Text is fine for a gaming website, especially catered to kids.
