You CAN'T TELL if a UI element is a clickable element element if #1, it looks just the same as everything else, #2, isn't displayed on the screen until you mouseover it!
Xcode actually REMOVED the damn disclosure arrows from hierarchical controls so that you had NO IDEA that you could click on them until you tried it.
OMF! Infuriating. Someone thought that was a good idea? Why do they still have jobs?!
What's even worse is that in some areas, the clickable items are INVISIBLE until you mouse over them. Holy crap!!
Buttons need to look like fucking BUTTONS so you can eyeball the screen and know what everything on the screen does without needing to interact with each element!
How does the "professional" design team at Apple not know this???
Flat UI design REMOVES valuable context from the user that HELPS the user figure out how the interface behaves without having to manually hunt and peck through the interface!
Ive needs to never touch a human user interface EVER.
The iOS and Mac interfaces have only gotten worse since Ive's started touching them. It's seriously tragic.
I hate it with the burning passion of a thousand suns.
Fuck these designers who have no idea how to make a good UI, but sure know how to destroy one.
The last good Mac UI was in Snow Leopard.
Yes. Yes it does.
Bouncing rubber banding scroll views in Safari and the Finder if you use the Magic Mouse. Who the HELL needs this? Kill it. Kill it with fire.
Windows and alerts that pop open in your face just like from iOS.
So many iOS conventions that simply suck on a desktop.
Full screen use on my 30 inch display is counterproductive. Full screen on a multi monitor system with a 30 inch display is a joke.
Terrible font - Helvetica Neue roman needs to die in a fire when compared to Helvetica medium or Lucida Grande.
Font is too thin, spacing is too wide. Looks weak, girly, empty, frail. Ick.
Terrible color scheme - too luminous, too garish, colors conflict with each other and are hard on the eyes. Unpleasant to view.
Flat UI elements simply suck, look insubstantial and weak.
Translucency is better, but still sucks. Why do we need this?
Can't look at it. Don't want to look at a UI that hurts my eyes.
If the future of the Mac looks like this, I'm leaving the platform. Jony Ive should never be allowed to touch an interface - ever.
"Now finalized based on a total of 34 observed events, the measured interaction rate is in good agreement with that predicted by the Standard Model, a theory describing all known fundamental particles and their interactions."
"Now with the LHC data in hand, the measured rate agrees with the prevailing theory's predictions and establishes a signal at a significance level of 3.6 sigma—strong evidence, according to Pleier. "The probability for this measurement to be a mere background fluctuation is very small—about one in 6000," he said."
"Again, so far, the data indicate that the Higgs is working as expected.
"For the first time, we can rule out certain models or predictions that we could not before," Pleier said. "To complete the job, we need more data, at higher energy, so we can see the fingerprint more clearly."
The LHC will resume data taking at increased collision energies—13 tera-electronvolts (TeV) instead of 8 TeV—in spring of 2015. The datasets collected will be up to 150 times the size of the currently available data and will allow for a detailed behind-the-scenes look at the Higgs at work."

anymore is an adverb
Whaaat? Please spell check. I have no idea what you are trying to say.
Meh.
It's visually appalling crap.
Deference and Clarity lose all the time over the Visual Context that is gained by clearly defined controls with moderate depth, shadow and lighting.
And their color scheme of garish and overly luminous colors that clash with each other? Just how is this a good thing? It isn't.
I have them. Email me at zav - at - mac - dot - com
I LOVE 10.6.8. I use it on all my home macs.
In the office, I have to use 10.8.5. It's the least visually sucky of them post Snow Leopard.
Install an SSD and Max out your RAM and stick with 10.6.8 or leave the platform like I will be doing.
Sucks that Ive's touch is destroying the Mac and iOS interface. Really sucks, but these new versions are too ugly to use.
Overly luminous colors that look like an art student's bad project? Yes. It has those.
No, it doesn't. The glassy look is all prerendered into bitmaps that are stored as PNG files.
I KNOW!

I agree 10,000 percent. Someone needs to fire Ive or whomever is pushing this bullshit.

No shit. Sucks ass, doesn't it?
Pisses me the fuck off too. Xcode 6 with its BLUE BLUE BLUE ELECTRIC BLUE highlights actually angers me.

Yosemite OS X is IMO too ugly to use. Be glad it can't run it.

The author's grammar is terrible. He doesn't know that the plural of Amiga is Amigas. Such a painful read.

Tell that to Michael Jackson, you insensitive clod!
Screw you guys. I'm going home!
We launch from the equator for a reason. Since when is Scotland near the equator?
I'm offended by that, you insensitive clod.
Ahhh, not so sure about that.
