What exactly do you mean? Everyone has a preference. I think everyone's tank is a reflection of themselves. Also some choose to mimic the natural surroundings of the fish. Is that what you mean? Like me for example this is my tank. Some may like it some may not. But it's what I like and have to look at. Although I haven't had any complaints

Aquascaping isn't something you do or don't know how to do.
It's creating a landscape inside the tank that looks good.
If you need ideas then try looking at pics online.
Have you thought of what you want to involve in the scape?

It depends how complex you wanna get.

It depends. It is all personal preference. Te most common aqua scape I have seen mentioned is the Dutch Style aquascape and te Iwigumi style aquascape.
Justmove stuff around until you like it sloping gravel towards 2 far back corners adds depth. Terracing substrate is something i really like. Adding height, adding depth is important. Creating a focal point that is slightly off center helps. Multiple focal points are confusing. Tall plants in the back, shorter ones in the front. Try using rocks that match in color.
Regurgitation- complete.
Flip through the gallery on this forum for ideas!

Aquascaping can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. In the end, whether or not you like the results is what really matters - but if you are interested in reading about theory, technique, etc, there are a few resources out there. Aquajournal comes to mind...
