The striped progress bar... isn't. I don't know... I guess 'flat' is the hip thing and everyone should run out and change to it, but I'm not sure it's an improvement. I kind of like buttons to stick out a bit.

I like the flat style, but it's annoying having buttons and alerts/labels look exactly the same. You can't immediately tell what's clickable and what isn't.

Yes. I do like Windows 8 UI elements, though I'll like them more after some more iterations from Microsoft. Metro is not very suitable for PC usage, but the direction is nice.

He was mocking your commage. Unrelated noted: I agree, Metro is the best thing to happen to UX in a long time.

I understand sacrasm (or irony - never could tell the difference without overthinking), but I believe that Metro will become more usable over time.

I'm sure we can still take away the colors and the fonts, and why do we even render the page at all?

With all due respect, changing a few settings in 1 or 2 LESS files is now a top #2 story on HN? One of three things are happening as approach the end of the world...

1) Slow news day

2) What quantifies a hacker is being grossly influenced by what has quantified a startup the last few funding cycles.

3) Get off my lawn.

But they rewrote the documentation too! And added their names.

Seriously, this is a simple theme, nothing special, people have been theming bootstrap since it came out. Moving on then...

I, think, you're, still, missing, his, point;

Hint: It had nothing to do with Metro and everything to do with this character ','

And if you can't tell the difference between sarcasm and irony without thinking, never mind over-thinking, then you likely understand neither.

Edit: The initial reply to you was neither ironic, nor sarcastic.
