"I love clean and simple as much as the next guy, but I don’t think [flat design] is a long-term trend here. The subtle simulation of 3-D in our interfaces seems far too natural to give up entirely." Agreed, the "flat design" trend seems like a pushback against over-done skeuomorphism that went a little too far in removing all the visual depth cues.
