    not really, people just wanna use it for the work they are using that software for, not navigating a bad ui

      But people in the 90s were doing their work just fine, with that same UX paradigm. What’s the difference now?

      Just to be clear, I’m not saying that software’s UI and UX doesn’t need to evolve. But it bothers me that a perfectly usable UI gets criticized only because it’s “old” and doesn’t look “modern” (tf is a “modern UI”, btw?).

        the difference is that we want guis to be better than they were. yes you can still use a 90s ui.

        im not criticizing it because its “old”. i think i gave a pretty good reason in my OP.
