I dunno but there's only a few things missing from those old-style UIs. (Notably, hiDPI support for example)

This is probably a niche opinion but I think we have been steadily devolving and going backwards in terms of user design. We waste so much space, require so many clicks for worse usability than we started with. With the death of skeumorphism and textual UIs we regularly have to guess or hover buttons to find out what they are. Even scrollbars are starting to be unusable - I can barely see some of them because they are small, low-contrast and auto-hiding.

100%. And all of this regression is either in the name of pure vapid trendiness, or an attempt to supposedly make things “easier for non-technical people” — and yet these people still have no idea how to use their devices any more expertly than they could Windows 95. The only difference is back then people knew what a file was and where it was located. Now there are a lot of people who don’t.

TL;DR millennial shakes fist at cloud

These modern useless scrollbars really anger me.

I can theme some things (unless some modern packaging tech makes the app ignore my theme), I can make the ones in Firefox usable but ugly (with widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled and widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style), and so on. But I can see where we are heading. Scrollbars are one of many UI features that were too useful, so they must be destroyed.

I did not expect to feel so old at such a young age.
