I think designers would do a better job of not crippling UIs in the name of aesthetics if everything on their computer was using the very UIs they created. Make them use them every day, for everything. See if they still like it so much.

I hope it's not a hot take to say that if a designer can't make their UI pretty without sacrificing usability, then they failed as a designer. The whole point of this job isn't just to make things look pretty, but to also consolidate it with specific constraints. In UI design, such a constraint is usability. Shitting all over that just means you suck at your job.

@volpeon Ice cold take honestly. If your User Interface hinders the User from Interfacing than whatever it is that you made, its something other than a User Interface regardless of whether or not it resembles one.

@volpeon but how do you make a very usable UI look pretty so people will want to use it?

@technobaboo @volpeon But ... isn't usable UI also become a pretty UI (by default)? :dragnthinkhappy:

BTW, I saw a lot of pretty UI which is unusable.
