As someone who is very critical of it internally, for all its a faults it’s very consistent and easy to use if you’re React focused.

  As a user of the AWS, consistent is not a term I would use to describe the console.

    This might not be a fair argument against this design system, since it was created to combat the inconsistencies between products in the console, and I believe it's doing a good job, perhaps just slower than we'd all like. Having been in the AWS console on a nearly daily basis for the past 3 years, I've definitely seen some of their screens that are terrible, some services that are hard to use and I've also seen screens get worse/harder to use with design updates even if they're more consistent. Often this is followed by consistent and better functionality, but that varies per service. I definitely understand where you're coming from as it feels like support for any given service in AWS is a game of chance, but the designs are absolutely converging over time.

  The console is surprisingly terrible, ugly and basic... although for something that deals with so many unrelated services, I guess it's better to have ugly symmetry than no symmetry at all. I usually need to open it in several tabs just to not get totally off track in security groups and lose whatever services I was looking at, since the back button is unreliable. But it does helpfully remind me of the fact that any of the myriad things I rely on from Amazon right now could just be temporary, half assed implementations on their end that are setting me up for forced updates and technical debt... and that my job isn't supposed to be fun.
