I really hope this is the year we realize that debating about skeutomorphism is a waste of time. Whatever its merits, I'd like to hear about a single case where an anti-skeutomorphic design was elemental in disrupting a market leader. I've been using a prime example, Ableton Live, for the better part of a decade, and while it's done well, it hasn't exactly left highly skeutomorphic competitors like Reason in the dust or enabled stunning usability breakthroughs. If skeutomorphism is not actually that important in the market, then let's just acknowledge that we're talking about personal taste more than anything.
