Agreed with the sentiments of the author. While I don't expect an OS to be "beautiful" - attractive would perhaps be the better word, the general grayification and over-simplification has made OSX harder to navigate. Compare it to Atom which I, and I am sure many others here, use every day" syntax highlighting, coloured icons, etc all make navigating code/screen faster.
