While very pretty, these controls make me feel like an old person who is learning how to use a computer for the first time. I have no idea how anything will respond if I click on it. It's a bit unnerving, but helps me empathize with first-time computer users.

Speaking of feeling old, I can barely see the light gray text at the footer and in some of the sub-headings.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I like the flat button a lot more.
Good for you but understandable user interfaces are (and should be) higher priority than prettiness; the "warning button" looks like a warning message for me. But of course there are alternatives for visual clues that still look flat-ish: http://i.imgur.com/jXN2tpe.jpg
The glyph are coming in a few :-)
Just as a joke, I'd like to see someone do a Skeu UI, the polar opposite, one with such ridiculous degrees of skeuomorphism, that you want to laugh. Maybe have it look like a WW2 era Navy Cockpit.
Minimalism is about making it as simple as possible, and not simpler. Texture is a way to add redundancy and even when not facing people with disabilities, in communication a level of redundancy/repetition is good
I decided to view it as a blind person might, but removing all styles ("View->Page Style->No Style") and it was interesting to see what was still a user interface (toggles were) and what wasn't (buttons weren't) and what was in between (tags).
Is this down to a problem with browser vendors not allowing full styling of basic controls? Perhaps they should have a no css tag, simular to no scrip that lets you put a radio button in there.
