And there were no patterns, particulary between 1992-1995, for MS Windows apps?

  Bracketing this with '92-'95 makes the claim so much funnier.

    One thing VB allowed was horrible visual design. When you wrote a Windows app in C or C++, you are happy when the button appears in the UI and you leave it alone at that point. VB allowed people to customise their buttons with all sorts of colours and patterns no sane UI designer would attempt.

      Same with Hypercard, perhaps even more so since Hypercard let you respond to UI gestures the standard UI didn't really use like mouseovers.

        HyperCard, at least initially, didn’t have color, so it somewhat limited how horrendous the UI could be.
