Many here recall 90ies interfaces and lament thier disappearance. Answer seems obvious to me. Of all UX people I have spoken to, not a single one shared that appreciation. Or any interest in technology. But all of them worship Steve Jobs, Apple and such. It's a culture thing. Now a toxic culture eats their own proponents.

Jobs always put form over function. He demanded a single-button mouse because it looked cleaner, so we got the entirely undiscoverable double click. It's forgotten now, but when the Mac came out, people had to be trained in double-clicking.

very nice anecdote!

makes me chuckle while using a standard, two-button mouse to double click on windows desktop icons.
