No, no one really cares about homogeneity. Big name apps geared towards music, photo, video, 3D, GIS, IDE … have always looked somehow differently designed and for a good reason when compared to the browser and file manager.
There is more value in design than consistency on production oriented systems. It seems the contrary is preferred for mobile.
- e3bc54b2 5y agoThose big-ass different looking applications on desktop you mention are creator's tools. It makes sense they differentiate (specialize) their UX to deliver maximum utility, especially important to carry it over a decade or more of OS design transitions. Of course they look different. Mobile devices are by and large meant for and used as consumption tools. So consistency is desired there.
