Eeeeeeeh?

Would’ve been easier to just post a screenshot of Snow Leopard and call it a day.

Not that I disagree, Snow Leopard looked phenomenal, so did Aqua and, especially for me: Platinum (I adore platinum with all my heart).

But this blog post is basically: “I don’t like Liquid Glass, here’s the Mac pre-liquid glass. Oh, and here’s some apps that look off in various ways but people love em so I gotta say they look good.”

Ah yes, Microsoft’s “we care…………to talk about problems we’ll never fix” poster boy. Dude might be a fantastic developer, but he’s being used as a sock puppet.

Good designers would not disagree. Platform standards are golden standards, any UX designer worth their salt holds that as an absolute.

The problem starts when you want to ship to every device known to man but you only have the dev power to maybe ship it to the web—enter, Electron (and all that other similar crap).

Don’t blame it on the designers or the developers. This comes from above the worker bees.
