I thought this post was pretty funny : [Flat Design: Towards a Flatter Earth — User Experience Design - Brasil — Medium](https://medium.com/user-experience-design-1/fe8f583a4917 https://medium.com/user-experience-design-1/fe8f583a4917) Design based on function and performance removes emotions that contribute to the overall user experience. A purely engineering approach can lead to boring design, IMO. I really don't understand the performance argument when we've been dealing with skeuo for some time. Of course, skeuo can be overdone, but in balance, it's what many users find useful.
