@cmccullough "floating islands"

Ugh.

@dmoonfire @cmccullough

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.
