The thing that really pisses me off is the flat design that is so popular now. It’s so hard to tell when something is a button versus a label. I feel like I never know what is clickable or not.
the thing is that flat design is way more of a subtle art than skeumorphism, you have to really know what you’re doing for it to work well.
With skeumorphism you just slap some shading on it and call it a day, for flat design you have to think about where things are placed and what precise colour they are compared to the background, which icons you use, etc etc…
