@ilyabirman @marcoarment The new login UI on macOS Sonoma is a perfect example of such bad design. Or should I say, of such sheer nonsense?

@noheger @marcoarment, haven’t tried it yet, but this UI is something you interact with very shortly, so it doesn’t matter that much. It’s much worse when all this moving and animating stuff follows you around the UI you actually use a lot.

@ilyabirman @marcoarment It’s even worse than what you can see in this short video. As soon as you click on the account icon (the one that remains visible, because the other the one disappears for no good reason) the icon moves away to a different location to make room for additional account icons to appear.

This UI demonstrates everything what Marco was quite right to complain about: “things are jumping around, and it’s disorienting, and it’s inefficient, and it’s unintuitive as well, and undiscoverable and all sorts of other problems”.
