I couldn’t disagree more on Metro. For me that was the peak of bad design. With Metro I couldn’t tell the difference between interactive and non-interactive objects because they all looked exactly the same. This might be an unpopular opinion but I still hate desktop UIs that use hyperlinks as navigation elements. I get why they’re useful in documents where you’re cross referencing terms in an almost relational kind of way, but for applications I want widgets to be explicit as interactive. And for desktop applications, you cannot just middle click a link, so you have no idea if a new window will open or you’ll get transported away from the current view with no easy way of returning back to the current screen. KDE, in my opinion, is these days the best example of desktop UI out there. I’m not saying they get everything right, but it is far more consistent, discoverable and self explanatory than modern Windows (again, in my opinion).
