the old grey boxy "productivity" style was peak UI and nobody can change my mind.

"material" design (and other new styles) is _so_ bad it isn't even funny. i'm convinced it was developed to actively make people dumb and enable dark patterns.

@bonifartius you mean UIs like the Common Desktop Environment? I used that at a workplace, and then at home for a bit when it was open sourced a bit later. It was fun for a bit, but I do think modern UIs have improved on it since then.

@khird yes. most stuff today feels like if it's build for tablets or phones which are an environment made for consumption of things, not for productivity.. i like my interfaces to be brutalist. it's like touch interface on a stove vs. good old dials. touch may look sleek, but is horrible to use for cooking.
