Skeuomorphism can be horrible if it's not done properly!
Actually, horrible is pretty much the default.
Designers in the house! I literally could not absorb the content of the 'letter' because the design hurt my eyes so.

It's a technical-sounding word that makes the speaker look smart when they are complaining about design.

Modern ain't what it used to be.
how's that skeumorphic?
It's made to look like a physical letter.
Except nobody writes in grey ink on low-grade grey paper.
You forgot about dot-matrix printers in "draft" mode.
