@glass@typo.social counter-notion: Initial familiarity should not be confused with medium or long term usability or capability. — The idea being that while a familiar UI may get folks in the door, ultimately it’s a disservice to the user to inhibit or restrain the platform’s potential due to the constraints of another.
Ideally what we want is a UI that is true to the context in which it is presented, and REALLY good data interop between the platforms.

@octothorpe Absolutely, all of that! Me? I want toolbars that don't cover up my junk, have a bunch of drop shadows and spaz out between light and dark. Oh, and icons that aren't trapped in a squircle. (To name a few things.) I think these notions would work great across platforms.
