#2It looks like "expressive" in this case means "various pastel shades of pink and purple".

#4Feels more like the original android from the HTC days. Brighter colors, more rounded corners, a happier vibe than the corporate material theme introduced by Ice Cream Sandwich.

#5That image of the send button on email is a great example of design that would pass review, but absolutely sucks.
I feel like iOS has lots of design elements that look good in a screenshot, but are unusable. Share dialogs and the Call Waiting screen in particular on iOS are a masterclass is poor design.
I don't love the aesthetic of Material 3 - but I do align with the goals of making the design more useable.

#6It feels a lot like "duotones everywhere" - i.e. the hottest trend of 2022

It seems UI trends are going to repeat like fashion repeats itself in cycles.

#8I have an idea: just write ,,Send'' on the send button and people will find it even faster and easier... also make the button rectangular and add a drop shadow.
Welcome to 1995.
Also, 70+ year old people who have the hardest time using a mobile phone even if they need to, like my mom are just not even included in the test. She just can't find buttons done with material design.
For a company that was talking about inclusivity for 10+ years, setting 64 the highest age for UX testing is unacceptable.

#9Instantly hate that page for changing my cursor. Why do they even do that?
Re: Material 3 Expressive
#10It's certainly better than previous Materials, but then again, what isn't.
edit: I've also just noticed that the email in that screenshot is addressed to someone named Ana with two exclamation marks after it, which makes it looks like they're opening the email with "Anal!"
