Sometimes barely noticeable. They don't make sites look cheap as a general rule. I’ve been to hundreds of websites where the Adsense block fit right it. Sometimes barely noticeable.

I'm not keen on over doing it on the graphics although I do appreciate the aesthetic side. Where Adsense is concerned I used to feel pretty much the same about it as a lot of people who've commented on the subject here. But ultimately a business is a business, and adsense is revenue. It also has unexpected uses - I notice on my web accessibility pages, that some of the adsense ads have a habit of supporting my point about legal requirements for web accessibility in the UK - nice when these ads can actually be used to lend authority to a point you are making. Mainly though, it doesn't cost anything to put some ads up and the revenue can be used contribute towards a bit of extra-curricula team building. Strange how when many of the poor practices mentioned can seriously affect usability, navigability and even search engine visibility that most people picked on Adsense as the bad egg.

What's worse are sites that force you to use a specific browser AND screen resolution to view it properly. Fortunately, these sites aren't common either.

I really dislike Flash sites which ofter have splash screen and are loaded with animations. I think AdSense is okay in moderation. However, webmasters get the AdSense buzz, more ads = more money, and a site becomes bloated with them. You should have included browser sniffing. I hate it when you get a message saying your browser is not supported. Admittedly, it's not so common but it is annoying. Excellent points.
