I was with them up until the diagram where the straight lines seemed much better. Not that it distracts from the main argument. It might just be that I expect straight lines on diagrams like that and not curves
Because the siege engines will round them off anyway if we make them sharp and our castle ever comes under attack. And our defending archers can better rain arrows down on attackers approaching from any direction from a rounded tower.
Ah, but internal sharp angles are pretty good. Get a nice V to defend against attackers from 2 sides…
> Rounded corners also make effective content containers. This is because the rounded corners point inward towards the center of the rectangle. This puts the focus on the contents inside the rectangle. It also makes it easy to see which side belongs to which rectangle when two rectangles are next to each other. Personally, as a non designer and someone with close to zero natural aesthetic abilities, this single point…
UX people are mostly high on fresh MacBook packing material fumes I think.

The square rectangle pairing was also easier than the rounded one to match (there were fewer details to compare).

+1 The straight line diagram is easier to read for me as well. While I sometimes enjoy curved lines for diagrams, I think the ones the author chose were too curvy for my taste.
also "stress risers"
> We can all appreciate the aesthetic beauty of rounded corners. Can we? Much like that top 40 song that comes on the radio way too often, I have come to find all the rounded corners off-putting. They are usually a signal of form over function, and often used by information sparse sites. Give me square corners like HackerNews, old Reddit, or Vanguard any day.
