People knew how to design good dialogs for 30 years, if not more. What happened?

@ldvsoft yes, technically we now live in the era of “custom flash UI”, the only exception being that it’s not actually flash. Still, I’m surprise how little common sense is left and how obviously bad things get to production. Are there no grown-up left overseeing this? @nikitonsky Yeah, I'd love if there were. But as was told in another reply, current Google culture isn't for doing things right.  @nikitonsky Why don't you simply  From the article on Safari butchery attempt a few years ago This happens everywhere now.

@nikitonsky I'd think that in the epoch of low resources when you could only use predefined UI controls they created the system of well-defined guidelines. Those weren't perfect or nice looking but they created habits and were trivially recognizable. As we delved into paint-anything UIs we've lost the guidelines (round checkboxes for me is another symptom). So maybe now designers might not think of a good dialog since all of them now are absolutely random. WDYT?
