I enjoy this as an art project, but it does frustrate me as a reaction against the chickenshit minimalism of UI today, because I think it's the wrong reaction. I don't want a "love letter to 90s UI", I want a UI that takes full advantage of the hardware we have now. Graphics processing is a million times more powerful than it was in the 90s, and I now have a monitor with 220 ppi and 5K of horizontal resolution, which was the stuff of science fiction then. Surely the best UI for such hardware is neither the shitty low-density Jony Ive suckoff of today nor a carbon copy of the world as it existed 30 years ago just for nostalgia's sake. (This is ranty but isn't really directed at the SerenityOS devs, they've delivered exactly what they promised and done a good job at it. I just wish someone, somewhere was interested in functional UI design for the current era) |
