@glyph I kinda need a “I don’t hate it option”. It’s fine but I wish they hadn’t done it. But all the posturing and handwringing leading up to it was once again stupid and has shown how we can’t have normal conversations even about the shapes of icons without making it weird

@hynek Why do you think it was stupid? What would a normal conversation have looked like?

@glyph The opposite of “my timeline is full of posts declaring they’ll never update and quote every shred that can confirm that bias” would’ve been nice. I had a completely wrong impression of how it’ll look/work like based on that — which kinda sucks

@hynek @glyph Yeah, for me it just looks sort of different. Not that big a deal either way - then again, I lived through Windows XP 🙂 I'm not a huge fan of the look, but we all lost control of how our computers looked years ago.

@pfmoore @glyph This is much closer to Vista tho ;)

@hynek @glyph In my head Vista is the "Thank God it's not XP" release, so anything with that vibe automatically feels better than it deserves 🙂
