I don't like flat design because it's basic, boring, and sad. Windows 10 and 8 were ugly flat boring UIs for example. IMO peak GUI design was Mac OS X 10.6 like this:

Full skeuomorphism out the ass

Windows XP's Fisher-Price design and OG iPhone lickable buttons were an excess we should have learned from instead of dumping altogether. It's like music software started getting skins that were as non-rectangular as possible, and the whole industry went no, that's silly, let's stop.

Now you look at Windows 10 and it's not even clear which parts of a window are connected. Windows friggin' 95 had drop-shadows and relief shading. Why do modern OSs need to look like a Kraftwerk album?

Usability isn’t sad. I have vision problems and I very much appreciate the simplicity of flat designs.

Complicated designs aren’t always better designs.
