I remember when it used to look like a nice, compact native dialog box* instead of a full-screen, space-wasting abomination that follows no standards for anything.
But consistency, visual coherency, discoverability and predictability are apparently all outmoded concepts in UI design, so opinions like mine -- that native applications should look and feel like native applications -- don't seem to be worth much among the cool crowd nowadays.

- jakecopp 9y agoI disagree with you on this particular point, but in a wider scope I think you're spot on - it seems so little thought is given to the very basics of UI design. iTunes is the classic example!
