I agree. I love the old win95 UI because everything looked like how it performed. Buttons looked like buttons, scrollbars looked like scrollbars. It was immediately usable. The UX back then was amazing.

it's 81% right. from this era, the only addition that fully welded into me was screen snapping windows there are some good fun stuff in today's desktops but .. it doesn't add much to your journey IMO (and often you lose CUA services like full keyboard access too 99% widgets)
