Lots of positive comments.

Allow me to share a different perspective:

I hate this.

I long for serious content and straightforward UX, and less on gimmicks. The modern scrollbars is a good example of how terrible UX has become, which is obvious when comparing to the design principles of the 90s.

The smartphone dominates UX today. I suspect the reason why scrollbars disappeared was to save pixels on low-resolution smartphone screens. And now we're stuck with it.

You seem fun at parties
Is it only allowed to say positive things?

Why ad hominem?

My comment was more regarding your seeming opposition to any whimsey in user interfaces, instead arguing that everything must be purely utilitarian.
Exactly, I was adding perspective to the conversation. Things don't have to be absolute. You can have some users that love a design, while others hate it. If you want to respect all your users, your design needs to have that diversity in mind.

But you attacked me personally, rather than what I had to say.
