Why is every popular GUI always in the middle of a major change? Again? For decades? Why can't the devs finish the GUI and move on?

>>107736506goddamn this shit looks asswhy do itrolls always use GUI meme as a selling point if literally a single screenshot can disprove their bullshit?
>>107736554A UI is a tool. The primary goal is to help the user do things, not to look pretty.
>>107736506Society values novelty over stability
>>107736845>using Xfce is an antisocial act
>>107736845That's not even novelty. Merely a very poorly executed old idea.
>>107736883It's still novel. Windows 7 did not use completely translucent UIs, only borders and title bars, content areas were opaque. The closest thing to fully translucent UIs was definitely apple's own work in iOS 7. Apple moved away from this, the iOS 18 control center has significant darkening under each control and the Notification Center is very dark + blurs lockscreen wallpaper instead of content underneath.tl:dr; it's both
>>107736506I hate blur so much broswhen will designers get heads out of their assess and go back to something that resembles utility, usability and readability. At least flatshit had to be implemented for technology and practical reasons, since skeumorphism didn't scale well to different DPI, screen sizes and surfaces and could be more easily be translated to high contrast for visually impaired when done right.
