I keep reading this argument here. Does no one here use Windows 10? What kind of drugs would you have to be smoking to believe that Windows 8 or 10 looks "cool"? Sure, MacOSX looks "cool", I'll give it that (it doesn't work that great though), but Windows is far and away more widely-used than MacOSX, and is basically the standard-bearer for "commercial software" when we're talking about UI/UX, and it's really ugly.
- kaolti 7y agoA better word is probably "polished". I agree that Windows is not the prettiest thing to look at, but it's definitely polished.
- magduf 7y agoIs having two different control center applications part of that "polish"? The last thing I'd call Windows is "polished"; instead, it looks like a great example of software built by strict evolution.
