Actually, I don't mind it - I like it - I feel like Mac OS - and especially iOS - got _very_ boring and felt really "conservative" / stocky to me. Everything the same as it always was...

So I am happy for a fresh breeze. I don't mind it. I actually enjoy having some movement in my computers' appeareance, and I feel it's really cool and tastefully done... for my use. Just to mix it up a bit. I'm happy about it. Be a bit whimsical from time to time. Is gudd!

When it came out, my first thought was that if was a theme on gnome-look.org or something back in the day, I would’ve totally installed it on my Linux desktop, and would’ve thought it looked really kewl. It’s nice in that “gee whiz” kinda way, like back when compiz was in vogue and there were wobbly windows that would burst into flame when you closed them. Liquid Glass would’ve felt right at home.

But stuff like that feels dated quickly, and nowadays I can understand the drive to have less distracting UI elements. I still don’t hate it but I understand those who do.

When using these computers for work all day, the last thing you want is to 'just mix it up a bit'. Some parts do look nice, but the idea of having transparency, blur and distortion everywhere really is a design nightmare.
I love it
