@nikitonsky ui/ux design nowadays seem to me mostly like cargo cult, everbody following the same „design rules“ that mostly don‘t seem to have any reason

@nikitonsky Tables are a way of presenting arrays of uniform data, usually for easier searching or comparison.

The table in the left pic is used to display the properties of a single entity; it is basically just a set of labeled values. There's no reason to present this data in a tabular format.

To me, the right pic is clearly better. It can be made even better by removing most of the labels, since the values like "coupe" or "3.6 liter V8" are pretty self-descriptive.

@nikitonsky a good example of dribbble-driven design
