Hmmm, I like the arrows, and I've used such but I am really into flat design right now so I wouldn't spend any money on it unless I needed it for a project.
I'm one of those people that tends to like one thing, eg style, until I spend too much time investigating a new thing (style), at which point I start preferring the latter. This is one of the reasons it took me a fair amount of time to settle on the look and feel for my website - I wanted it flat, but kept being seduced by sub-alternatives. Once I leapt off the fence and made a commitment, that was it. No more looking at other themes and sites for inspiration.
Re organic images, I'm only really a fan when done well. Don't really like the images in that link TBH. I tend to go to GraphicRiver and have a look around. It's often far better to snap up a couple of images/logo packs/icon packs for a few pounds than spend hours trying to replicate in PS/Gimp/PPT etc. Here's a sample of their flat designs, their line designs and their organic designs (requires a bit more filtering / drilling down).
Even if you don't buy anything, it's worth using sites like this to create lightboxes and SnagIts for inspiration.

They are very similar to the shapes used in Videoscribe, which I use a lot for process explanations.
People do love them - they break the "monotony", and provide a great visual counterpoint to words.
