I’m sure we’ll all get used to it. Just like we got used to a lot of the problems that the iOS 7 redesign brought.

But that doesn’t mean we’re actually moving forward and getting better. We seem to be finding new ways to get worse.

You can look at screenshots of OS X 10.4 or 10.6 and they’re incredibly easy to read. They have good information density. You know what the controls are and things haven’t been hidden like scroll bars.

Yeah there were excesses with iOS 6 and below. And the pixel perfect layout stuff was never going to be viable long-term as phones kept changing size every year or two.

But you could tell what was a button and what wasn’t. You knew if something was just text or a field you could edit. We’ve lost that.
