I remember reading an article comparing Google maps with Waze and it criticized the UI of Google maps to be “traditional” and considered the Waze UI to be superior. I guess it was written by gen-z. At the time I was shocked - since when did the google UI become the traditional? They really had no clue how long it took us to get things look right.
