Thats what I thought until I tried Android L...looks flat + shadows when you look at screenshots. But I was wrong. It's about layers and movement after interactions. You have to experience it with animations, sliding down notification menus, and tab-switching between apps. It feels like an very smooth remake of the Android 4 redesign, that flows cleanly between panels and screens.

The flat/shadowy UI elements are secondary IMO to the layering effects that have been added. Something bootstrap themes can't really capture.
