Gregory's ServerDown10, UX is how it works. UI is mostly about how it looks. Modern gigantic, overly spacious UIs work mostly the same as the older ones. They just look more terrible. The Firefox redesign in particular improved literally nothing. It's purely change for the sake of change.

 Down10, the old one looked good, too. It also got the job done perfectly fine. I'll ask it more straightforward: what was the exact problem Mozilla was trying to solve with this particular redesign?   Let me put it another way, Grishka. A more direct way. They redesigned Firefox to be in line with modern aesthetics to be appealing to the vast majority of the existing and potential user base, not fringe weirdos like you.  You're right. There's no reason for me to be rude. But Grishka expecting time to stand still just to suit his non-mainstream tastes is unrealistic. That being said, Grishka could just continue to use the old version or fork it and update it himself. That's more likely than having a mainstream product never get a visual makeover. Bradley, "modern aesthetics" is like fashion. It brings no practical benefits whatsoever — it's change for the sake of change in its purest form. |
@grishka @Gargron I think it looks good. Things do not need to look the same all the time forever, that includes user interfaces.
