I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

    After a glance at others’ answers, it’s the same thing: the trend away from skeuomorphism.

    I always think about the time I discovered an Android area was horizontally scrollable - with no scrollbars to clue me in, it was only the fact that the icon I wanted wasn’t there that prompted me to discover the secret. I’m a software dev, if it’s unintuitive even to me, how do non-technical people stand a chance?

      As a software dev myself, I must say with all due respect that devs are not known for their intuition.

      It’s a bit of dilemma because intuitive means different things to different users. In fact research showed that skeuomorphism is reintroduced for new modalities and then discarded after users get used to it.

        That’s interesting. The flaw with that logic seems to that there’ll always be new users, and they’ll be playing on hard mode since those vital clues have been removed.
