I wish more things looked like this at work. There's apps that look like native apps, there's bootstrap apps, there's all the custom CSS floating around, there's whatever's new, there's the stock CSS sheet that comes with the plugins... Keeping to principles like this at work or for work environments would make it so much easier to have unity. I'm not saying everything should look like this, but that not everything needs to stand out for the sake of standing out. Using the same app every day undoes the need for over the top "visual cues" and complex overlays and material concepts. We need fast, interchangeable stuff, that works with large amounts of data/fields/etc when the content doesn't fit looking like apple.com. :) I wish you guys luck, and I'll give it a shot the first chance I get.

I work at a very large company and it's the same way. We have a team dedicated to keeping internal apps within certain stylistic and functional guidelines but the overall landscape is still an absolute clusterfuck. Some apps are built with bootstrap, some with pure, some with no styling whatsoever, different hexes for our company's primary color... you name it. Fragmented as all hell.

  It's amazing in an "Agile" world, we still feel like we need to "configure" basic design concepts. For internal apps: Structure could be one theme on one CSS framework. So much time is wasted on "design" (picking colors, lining things up) by people who don't know anything about design.
