The 2d design of modern interfaces is terrible. Everything looks like a "Label". Scrollbars are terrible. Light gray on dark gray. And, worst of all, they need 3d acceleration to draw a bloody 2d label.

Disagree it's worst of all. Why should a specialized piece of hardware not render labels? Even tosters have some GPU cores these days.
why would i want a toaster rendering anything but hot bread?
They do. It is 3d borders that they are strugling with. And borders bigger than 1px are impossible. /s
