Why do we have such shit UI where it is more difficult to use? I'm sick of the flat look, with having no idea what is a button or a link.

Everything is bundled together with no separation, tabs, buttons, and lists touch each other and you have no idea where the boundaries are until you click it. Or the use of icons that I have no idea what they mean until after I click it.

What we have is a BUI, Brutalist User Interface with this "minimalism" design. I miss the days of having some skeuomorphism.

Before it was hijacked for dumbass normie entertainment purposes, the Internet was a place for free-thinkers, academics, scientists, and philosophers.

This is the correct answer. Designing for phone screens made it a thing, retarded users on phones then cemented the 'web 2.0' design paradigm.

Designers used to know shit like this was stupid, now its the accepted norm. Doesnt matter if you fight it, since employers will demand compliance (go watch The Fountainhead)
