  > The only people complaining about skeumorphism was designers chasing latest fad. You're just proving my point. Notice how all of these were posted after Zune/Metro/Windows Phone/8/whatever it's called flat design craziness started. Just look at this quote from Gruber's blog post: ...these hallmarks of modern UI graphic design style are (almost) never used in good print graphic design. They’re unnecessary in print... No shit, guess what also wasn't needed in print: Buttons to be pressed and radioboxes to be selected. The whole fad just built on "old design is old and designers need to be employed".
