I have no idea why flat / material is considered superior to Skeuomorphic. I acknowledge that position was useful for the people that wanted to force Scott Forstall out of Apple. But as far as taste, what we are now left with design-wise is nothing more than inhuman garbage.
- etempleton 4y agoI think skeuomorphism went a bit too far and became almost comical at times, but I agree that there has been a massive over correction. I think the real driving factor has been scaling. It is the same reason why ever logo looks the same. It needs to look good on a 4 inch screen and a 400 inch screen and that is hard to do unless you simplify the design down to the most basic elements.
- webmobdev 4y agoIt isn't considered superior. It is a deliberate design choice jointly by BigTech, including Google, Apple and Microsoft to slowly blur the line between the desktop and web applications for the user. All are colluding together to become service companies and rent their products for subscriptions. But they know that if the transition is sudden, many of their users will abandon them.
