Setting aside all of the discussion about Microsoft's perennial new UI frameworks... does anyone else really dislike the Fluent design language? It feels weird and mobile-optimized and spaced-out and infested with odd special cases, and it seems like every classic-style Windows component they replace with the new style of UI gets simultaneously dumbed-down and harder to use. When Google released Material Design I didn't like that either, but it's grown on me. Fluent Design still hasn't clicked with me.
- fifticon 7y agoAmen bro. What I lament the most, is that navigation guidelines that seemed set in stone between 1987 and 2005, are starting to slip. Things like how to navigate with keyboard, or that typing in a list will incrementally-search to what you typed, seem to fall away. E.g. the "Apps and Features" screen in windows, will not let you type directly in the scrolling list. However, I can see that after some recent windows update, the screen now has a Search field, god forbid.
