The failure of this UI/UX "expert" to grasp this most basic common sense detail is why modern websites and applications are generally speaking top-heavy UI/UX disasters.

Over the last 15 years or so I think we've taken a few giant steps backwards as we let freewheeling artists take over. Yet go back to the early 80s and look at the original Macintosh UI which was designed by an artist - Susan Kare - with complete elegance and simplicity. What has happened? Just because computers have increased in speed doesn't mean the complexity of the artwork must increase proportionally - often at the expense of usability.

This sounds overly negative and exaggerated. Adding quotation marks around the expert seems excessive, as this is surely the author’s profession no matter you agree with his idea or not. If you compare design nowadays and say the geocity days it’s a huge leap. And for every Macintosh UI there were most likely countless unintelligible designs that nobody remembers 40 years later.
