@ChuckMcManis@chaos.social @prozacchiwawa@functional.cafe Yeah, I think earlier systems had fewer UI framework options, so applications were inevitably more consistent.

@wilfredh@mastodon.social True, but *why* fewer options? My guess is performance constraints demanded only the essentials, whereas today we have such a luxury of memory and compute that adding more options "costs nothing." And yet they do cost, there is a cognitive cost of a confusing or complex UI.
