@nikitonsky I miss when material was about …materials. Tangible sheets with clear extents stacked upon each other with depth and structure.
Sure it wasn't perfect, and I'm sure it had its own problems for certain VI classes, but at least it served most people well, unlike this which …is just an expanse of white.
@zbrown @nikitonsky yeah, I quite like the first version of material design. It was "flat done well, with more affordances", at a time when everyone else was losing their mind while hiding all visual structure possible.
And it had overly flowery language too, but it was largely used to describe *how cool reality is* and why you should want to learn from it.
Since then they've just been repeating all the biggest problems with flat design that material was designed to improve on.
