UX has really gone downhill. This is particularly true of banking websites.

Also, the trend of hiding scrollbars, huge wasted spaces, making buttons look really flat, confusing icons, confusing ways of using drop downs rather than using the select/option html controls etc have all made the whole experience far inferior to where desktop UI was even decades ago

Hiding scrollbars is a deeply annoying trend. I don't understand the rationale. Because someone thought it looks aesthetically cooler?

		mobile first philosophies is my guess. ...curious who decided seeing scrollbars wasn't useful on mobile though. it's very useful knowing where i am in a long scrolling thing.

i think material ui kicked design in the face in a broad multiple-industry-capturing way. it's gotta be the worst design language to interface with and it just unreasonably requires effort to navigate around gcp and lots of other google tooling. i'm glad it feels dated now and people are moving away to input boxes that are enclosed in, you know, a box... but i cannot stand what it brought to ux/ui.
