yeah I really can't fathom how the material design won out. it's so.... gimmicky. like when you click a button, and it radiates out a ripple across the button surface.

Agreed. I am implementing some portions of it right now for an app and some of it is so eye-rolley. I'm just skipping those bits.

Overall, I think it's a nice guide, especially for people like me who are design-inclined but not designers. However it shouldn't be taken as gospel.
