I think we need more fun user interfaces in the world.
Why can't applications be more like video games, where every button makes a little sound, and every change is punctuated with a visual flourish?
This has a practical use, too; by making it literally pop out, it makes the effects of your actions unambiguous.
If Nintendo made a word processor, bolding text would make it balloon outwards for a brief moment before settling, punctuated with a thud. You would know, in your mind and heart, that you bolded the text.
The buttons would also have eyes.
If you look at footage of Nintendo's more tool-esque games, you will see this in a lot of places. Game Builder Garage, Mario Paint, Mario Maker, WarioWare DIY...
If you want a free software example of this, Tux Paint is alright
