Also, UI design has traditionally used visual styles from minimalism and the Bauhaus, mainly because the very low-resolutions where it was created (desktops first, later mobile screens) didn't support anything more ornate that would be still visually appealing. I long for the day when more elaborate and luxurious art-deco-based interfaces become fashionable in UI design.
