@grishka @gullevek @xerz @nikitonsky I mean, it’s a good idea to do sometimes. I’d rather not still be on skeuomorphic design right now.

@Lenora256 @gullevek @xerz @nikitonsky it's ok to do it together with a major OS update that gives it new graphical capabilities (classic Mac OS -> OS X). It's also ok to do it if you can't fit some genuinely useful feature into the existing design. However, doing it "just because" is making your users re-learn to do the same things for no reason. I'd rather have skeuomorphism forever than the modern atrocity where you don't know what anything is until you try interacting with it.
