The old one was great – in the context of late 00s to early 2010s design philosophy. It fit right in with Apple‘s skeumorphic design language and Microsofts Aero design. The new one is the perfect answer to the modern, more minimalist design. (Although I’m glad we’re mostly out of the "flat“ design era of Windows Metro and similar UIs)

That's true, it fit in with the trends of the time. I guess part of my feeling is that I never actually liked skeumorphic design so I've been happy that flat caught on. There was a period where it did get too flat, but I like the middle ground we're at now.

I miss Aero design so much.
