To the parent’s point, it’s actually quite a reasonable UX, with colored outputs, filter banks, and just enough abbreviations and whitespace to balance density with intuitiveness. But that doesn’t mean this is the only modern design system that meets those requirements. And conflating all modern UI with consumer design trends is an equally frustratingly broad statement.

Link worked for me but took a long time to load. It just seems like their server is overloaded.

OK, this is definitely unfashionable looking if your main exposure to apps is the latest doodah on your phone that was literally updated yesterday. Very standard looking legacy Win32 looking app. Which, admittedly, would have probably look very similar had it been on Windows 3, but is probably running on LTSC Windows 10 or something in reality.

  Doesn't look Microsoft at all to me, just colored to mimic XP. Java on some Unix?

    Perhaps you just aren't old enough? It looks very Windows 95 to me.

      Age has nothing to do with it, the interface just doesn't look like Windows 95. The button shapes, minimize/close window buttons, the titlebar are all looking wrong for Windows 95. It looks significantly more like Swing, but then the buttons don't match that either.

    Page 7 (as labeled) of the slides. The tabs and checkboxes layout have a distinctly Win 9x era look/feel. I do agree that it's missing an obvious menu, and the theme for the window decorations reminds me of win 3.1, but that was probably an option for software of that era just as it is in this if someone pushes hard enough.
