Patrick@cmccullough If I could catapult the people who want sidebars to a be thing off a cliff, I am reasonably sure God would call it justice.
ramblingsteve@cmccullough yet more MacOS Tahoe style rounded edge screen waste 🤦♂️ Amiga Workbench was better than this in the 1980s.
@cmccullough it hurts me to think we could have been here now, with contrast, clean edges, bars you can grab, visually informative icons, no popups, and it runs on about 4mb Ram.

Ugh.

The article absolutely lost me at "this design from 2021 is completely dated" (light paraphrase)
Get the absolute flip out of here with that nonsense. Utterly vapid novelty-chasing.
#UIDesign is techné, not mode, dadgummit.
There is a right and a wrong way to do it, and if you're chasing novelty like a coke-snorting couture-fiend, you have utterly lost the forking plot.

@rl_dane @cmccullough I'm behind you on that one.
I like my UIs square and sharp. I like bevels I can grab onto, scrollbars I can see without moving my mouse, borders on windows I almost as wide as my cursor, and I like my buttons and text fields to be consistent, not some customized-for-every-single-app theme that I have to remap my ability to navigate and understand what is going on the screen.
I think there's definitely room for aesthetics and change, but not as the primary driving force, not ever.
wojtek@cmccullough no… just "Current Design Trends", which is even worse…
#jetbrains did the same crap with #IDEA IDE:
i HATE it
@wojtek Yep! Same.
