Honestly skeuomorphism was so much better than the flat mobileshit we're stuck with now. We had Windows 7, gnome 2, OSX Lion, all of which had mild drop shadows, 3d depth in icons and window borders, clearly delineated edges between various UI controls, and then it was as if one day some shadow illuminati council of UI design put out a worldwide decree that everything has to be flat and use indecipherable heiroglyphic vector icons made of little dots and lines. I've been waiting for some kind of aesthetic counter-reaction to take place and it seems like it actually might be starting to happen. 2010-era was the peak of UI design and it's high time we went back, godammit!
