Is Austin overrated?

dallas seems more progressive than austin, texas...more buildings...but at the same breath I can't say there is really much to do in dallas...I hear austin has alot to offer but I wouldn't say that really..they just seem more cultured....alot of wierd ppl...but dallas and austin dont really have nice sites too see (not a good place for site seeing)...other than the capitol building in austin...and no places that really stand out...
