- Exuma 6y agoSomething looking good is a benefit, lol.
- iguy 6y agoIt is eye-candy, but it's also useful for finding your way around if different apps look different. Some apps need every pixel they can get for content, but some don't, and those ones can show some personality.
- qppo 6y agoThis is how I feel about a healthy majority of flat UI design today (and almost the every example of neumorphism or widget with animations). Eye candy happens when UI designers make something for a slide show demo and neither the designer or PM uses the UI while they iterate. Which is part and parcel to many areas of development today.
