Perhaps I'll be crucified for saying this, but I actually like flat design. Or at least, I think I do. I always thought flat design was as the name suggests; flat. As in, no gradient, no faux 3D, and I guess no borders. I'm not such a fan of rounded buttons, I think they often scale badly (pretty much anything round will unless its a vector I guess), but I didnt think that was a requirement of flat design. That being said, I'm not sure what it is now, because that original button looks like flat design to me. The only "non-flat" element of it is the 1px border, but surely thats not the source of all this commotion?
