The last years of Johnny Ive were a curse.
- srvmshr 5y agoJony Ive put a sprightly charm into the dull personal computer. But he should have stuck to the oldest design tenet - "Don't change something drastic enough to make it less usable". There are always bunch of people on both sides of the fence, but the usability & familiarity generally is perceived to have taken a dip with the flat glassy design. Admitted, now we are used to it (the iOS look & feel). But the change between skeumorphic & flat was a hard change & tad unpleasant for its times. Form should have never take precedence over function. This is something that the Thinkpad team got overwhelmingly right.
