Bring back skeuomorphism. I hate flat and material design. Those two excessively eliminate subconscious visual cues from the natural world.

  Skeuomorphism goes in the other extreme direction though. One doesn't need flat design or skeuomorphism. There's a nice balance of UI elements that sit in the middle. I think Windows 7 was probably a good example of just straight up boring buttons and controls.

    OS X Maverics and iOS 6 were also nice examples of skeuomophism done right.

      I personally dislike Apple's skeuomorphic designs and find them very distracting. I in general do not like skeuomorphism in nearly any application.

  I hate it too. I understand what people had against it though because Apple (led by Scott Forstall) took it wayyyy too far at one point. The notepad, the game center, it was a joke. It became its own objective. I think the current bland flatness is a kneejerk reaction to that (kicked off by Jony Ive who was probably angered by Forstall's design).
