I don't get why designers want to redesign fundamental UI components every few years. It would be like a car company redesigning the steering wheel after decades of it being round (Austin-Morris tried that with the Allegro, and it didn't go so well).

- giobox 5y agoIf you force a team of talented people to go into perpetual “maintenance mode” for a product many of them will want to quit (understandably!). At any rate, a new UI generates interest in an OS the way few other features will, so while it annoys old timers it has a clear marketing function too - see the ridiculous speed at which everything had to get a “dark mode” for their UI a few years ago as another example of this.
