     @PickledFedora flat design era is fucking disgusting
     
     Frutiger Aero had some soul. DS, Wii, Wii U and 3DS's UI were freaking magical. Old iPhones and Android looked great too. 7's Aero was kind of nice too
     
     Now everything looks boring as fuck I hope we jump to another design era very soon

     @ElDeadKennedy @PickledFedora why
     
     Win 7 and Wii were nice designs, especially Wii
     
     The only thing the Switch OS got right was the huge game icons, otherwise the rest looks boring as fuck
     
     Windows looks boring. I hate new Apple and phones now

     @coolboymew @PickledFedora I genuinely feel like we've achieved all design aesthetics at this point. We could go for boxy designs, but anything we ever get is just going to be flat in some way or another. The most I've seen was a modern skeumorphic design but honestly it looks too overdone to really be set in stone (you can see some aspects of it in Windows 11 and maybe new macOS design), but it still is always going to be some weird variant of flat design. Nobody seems to care about aesthetic except for nostalgia, people see it and think "this is old" just by looking and assume its outdated if its not flat so it's a hard-locked marketing strategy too.
     
     I do like that we've moved away from pure-flat design and at least brought some older aesthetics and relied on Blur and stuff a lot so it doesn't just look like pure solid colors like windows 8 did. macOS still looks bad and Windows 11 actually stepped up their game a bit

     @picandor @coolboymew it looks nice but it was bad for performance, which is my main priority unless it's flat and ugly
