What are the modern design trends you hate most? Feel free to rant! Mine are:

Physical buttons are out of fashion, now EVERYTHING must have a touch screen instead! Especially if it makes the appliance more inconvenient to use. Like having to press a flimsy touch screen ten times to scroll through a washing machine's programs instead of just turning a physical knob and pressing a physical start button.

Every website looks like it's made for a phone and was vomited by the same app in slightly different flavors of vomit.

Actually EVERYTHING looks like it's made for a phone... Like what's the deal with all those hamburger menus on DESKTOP apps? Please just put a regular menu and same me some pointless clicking, it's not like you're lacking screen space. I especially hate that those menus can't be opened from the keyboard like regular menus.

It's very hard to find unique colors these days. Everything is becoming color graded for digital. That means everything starts looking the same because screen displays are limited, especially in the web.

Is that because Color != Material? That computer colors is an oversumplification of physical material surfaces? Is it the fact that colors are rounded to the nearest integer (commonly) within a 0-255 range for R,G and B? Or both?

You have Panteone for house paint and design , ACES for movies and ICC for your digital cameras - that's what I know. Color values are so normalized to see something that's unique you need to use optical camera instead of digital or make your own dye.

I wouldn't expect it to be the rounding; either it's a material thing or they're talking about colors that can't be represented inside the RGB color space.

I think it's that everyone picks the same six colours
