Honestly it holds up pretty well. That UI isn’t quite as “pretty” as some modern UIs, but I like it better than most in terms of it just being clear, consistent

The only thing missing is the application search feature where you can just type the app name to find it, that's about the only decent feature win7 onwards introduced.

  Back when the start menu +only+ showed programs, this wasn't necessary.

    not sure I agree, back then you had mountains of app entries with uninstall and readme and other junk all mixed in, it was tedious finding an app. now you just wack windows key, type in part of the app name and press enter.

      That only worked well on Windows 7. Today the start menu search is unreliable.

One brave GUI toolkit continues to use the Windows 95 look. Personally I really like that look (or design language, as we're apparently meant to say these days). Clean, high-contrast, and it's clear which widgets are clickable. It has the added bonus that its drawing operations can easily be hard-coded for excellent performance. http://www.fox-toolkit.org/ http://www.fox-toolkit.org/
