    Whether we like it or not Flat and minimalism is in as gradients and skuemorphism where objects and icons look like objects are very outdated to the millennials today and the art professors who teach this stuff to students.

    Vivaldi didn't have much of a choice as this crowd would shun anything with gradients, 3d icons, and colors.

    That first one is a huge issue for me. I'd be all for jumping on the Vivaldi bandwagon, but I cannot put software with no security/privacy review on my work machine, and I will not put it on my personal machine. They either need some security audits or to open source it.

    Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to call it 'Wagner', then? Vivaldi is fairly light-footed and pleasant, whereas Wagner tends to sound like it was written for - and performed by - The Hulk on bad day.

    Julie Larsen-Green is totally a millennial. She's responsible for Metro and is in her 50s. When you start misattributing things to the youth you sound old and misinformed.
