I really don't understand this icon-ize everything UX trend. Since when do I hieroglyphics instead of English?

Keep icons small, use brief text, employ information hierarchies. Don't turn everything into a jumbled mess of icons "because they look nice."

Edit: This comment is not directed towards you. It's more my frustration after spending two hours last night trying to understand the abysmal JIRA interface.

Not everybody speaks English and localisation is expensive. Icons don't require localising.
