From what I can tell from a Google search, Google has never released material design 2.0. What does it mean to have material design 2.0 incorporated here?

It's an unofficial term for the updated material design guidelines, revealed at Google I/O this year.

Material Design makes more sense in mobile apps. It meant for extremely simple UX/UI which mobile apps are naturally fit for. Thanks for the great work!

inline ask-HN : Do you guys really prefer it for complicated web apps ? Do you think it provides better user experience ? is everything flat and chromeless better on eyes when there is so much stuff on screen?

If I ever invent a new physical actual material or structure, I'm going to call it "syntax error" or "for loop". Then when people complain over the Internet that their syntax error is leaking water, I finally get my revenge!

If you make something physical, you should call it “abstraction”, and wait for people to complain that it leaks.

I hate it for web apps. Material design is designed primarily for simpler interfaces with a small screen and imprecise inputs, yet I use most web apps from my desktop or laptop where I have a large screen and very precise input methods. You cannot consolidate the two.

I'm not a fan of material design for mobile applications either. I find the animations obnoxious and annoying. It has also been my experience that mobile applications tend to have incredibly low information density and they require jumping through tons of hoops to perform even simple tasks. If I have the choice of installing a mobile app or using its website I always use the website.
