These genuinely look better than modern counterparts, along with Windows 98 / Windows 2000. It's just more visually pleasing and friendlier UX. I see most comments there mention the same things.
Are we just a bunch of old farts, or is that true for younger folks as well?
- _trackno5 3y agough, the “look better” part is highly subjective. I’m 29, so sort of young I guess. The main problem I have with modern UIs is the fact that they make icons flat and monochrome. I personally dislike the monochrome part a lot and there’s plenty of UX research showing this type of design makes things harder for older folks. I tried to teach my dad how to cast YouTube videos to the TV using his phone once. I found it weird he struggled so much with it until I realised the problem was the “chromecast” icon in the YouTube app. It’s just a flat rectangle with some decorations and he has a hard time distinguishing that.
