This is from 2011. Surely we don't miss the old icon still.

I do. :(

I'm really not a fan of this "flat" trend. Do I think Windows Vista's Aero was overboard? Yeah. It was really too much. An OS shouldn't get in your way.

However, I'm also of the opinion that Mac OS X Yosemite looks like an unfinished mockup. I miss my glass dock too.

I haven't used OS X Yosemite, but I had the same complaint about the insider preview of Windows 10. Not a fan of the "flat" trend either.

The sheer flatness of flat design (worst design trend name ever?) left many in a state of shock and disgruntlement.

Yet as with any trend, everyone want it... both client's and customers.

one has to wonder: how awful can a design everyone seems to want be?

Metro/Modern UI apparently.
