Looking at UI/UX of so many tools that I use, it feels like the UI developers died a long time ago.

  Interesting that is also correlated with the standardization of UI/UX design software which allows designs to be pulled together without much thought. There is a lot of garbage UX that seems a result of trying to fit keyboard and touchscreen interactions into the same hole. The UI flow for saving a document in MS Word is a good example of this.

    Oh God, how I wish the interfaces had a "This is not a goddamn touchscreen" option. I just want buttons that don't take half the screen, for starters. My mouse is good enough.

  They did. If you're talking people of a certain caliber (Bret Victor etc.) I think they were dying for a wile now. There's just lots of guys all over the world in different companies doing essentially the same thing over and over again, no real innovation, no desire for it.

  I'm feeling like, outside the small circles of OSS lib developers and FAANG-level companies employing rockstar front-end devs, there is less and less appreciation for UI as an area to invest talent and money in. Perhaps this is due to boilerplate designs becoming good enough, at a fraction of the cost of custom solutions.
