It's button camouflage. My 82 year old mother has enough trouble figuring out what is a button vs. what's not. She just taps everything on screen to find out. This is going to make it worse.

#704That’s it. I’m finally switching to Linux and Android.
It's not glassy (thank god), but it is just as disorientingly-bouncy.
I am quite happy with Mint/XFCE on the Linux side though. Clear and very fast. Glad to have finally shifted.

#705God this marketing copy is sickening
Literally who wrote this, and who did they write it for??

#706I installed it. I really wanted to love it but it’s bad. It’s very busy and the proportions in the Settings app are awful. It’s on the “cozy” side of things (as opposed to “compact”). This means you see less options at one time on the screen and have to scroll more around the OS to get where you need to. As for accessibility… It’s hell. Have a look: https://imgur.com/a/6ZTCStC
That evokes an immediate visceral reaction hah

#707Earlier quoted context omitted.
Apple Maps is actually great now.
Going from Apple Maps to Google Maps is now like going from ublock origin to a stock browser. Crap everywhere that you didn't ask for, slowing you down as you try to locate what you're actually trying to find. Meanwhile the maps/data quality is quite good, probably 95% there for the things I care about. I've been able to use it full-time for years now.

#709Did any user or developer ask for this? This looks absolutely awful and I’m a huge Apple fan. I can’t get behind it. :/
Designers gonna design. Even when a UI is perfectly fine, huge design teams have to justify their existence and therefore change everything for no real reason. I guess it makes more work for developers, though the utility of the work is questionable.

It had better be possible to turn this crap completely off. Is it?
