I liked skeuomorphic and i think most people find it comfortable because it s familiar. What followed that seems (from the user perspective) like a horde of conceited designers who think that the user should suffer for their superior designs. Wasting people's time trying to find where the button is, if it's pressed , or what it means, is not cool. Bicycles for the mind should make us go faster. I don't see any return of style, i see more of the same inanity, like e.g. twitter's latest redesign
- agumonkey 5y agoI think skeumorphism is ok as long as it doesn't forget it's software so physical limitations don't have to cripple the application. Best times is when you have a bit of skeumorphism and a bit of software extensibility / genericity.
