I think what it really is is that the power user is no longer the target audience. It’s the 18 year old who wants a new flashy thing every few versions. Regular users think the same is boring and old, so the need to “change things up” is higher than ever.
Look at iOS (and to a lesser extent Android) for instance. It has had I believe 3 or 4 major UI looks in its 13 year life.
- soulofmischief 6y agoAnd I have no idea how to use an iPhone because I haven't used one in years.
- sircastor 6y agoI have owned an original iPhone and an iPhone 12 mini. In between I used Android through 4 phones. I did not find it difficult at all to move back to iOS.
- chris37879 6y agoI'm in a similar situation and the only thing I'm really annoyed with so far is the lack of a universal back button that's well placed for me to reach one handed. Some apps support swipe to go back, but not all do, and it's not consistent which apps / screens in an app will let me do that gesture. And the reachability gesture of swiping down on that little pill shape at the bottom of the screen is awful. More often than not I 'tap' whatever is behind it.
