My gut reaction is that good design inspires. Good design inspires use of the object and allows for the object (the things designed) to _be_ used. Optionally, it can inspire a user to go do something else (like how a paiting or a poem is designed).

I'd say great design gets out of the way in the most elegant fasion possible.
