This is data dump, much like how there are data dumps of CSS styles, gradient buttons, and WordPress themes all over the internets. People use it if they want to, or not.
- danem 14y agoThis comment was more of a response to the discussion surrounding the whole "flat design" trend. Perhaps I should have responded to a particular comment, but my thoughts on the subject weren't specific to any one person's opinions. My thoughts, put another way, are that I don't like that this particular aesthetic is now being held up as some great way forward in UI design. I don't like the discussions that seem so frequent here, that completely miss the point. This is merely a style, and really has little or nothing to do with affordances or whatever reasons often professed by supporters and detractors when it comes up. The fact that this particular look has attracted so much debate and thought is what confuses me.
