It’s difficult to separate ‘you like how things worked when you were fifteen’ from honest appreciation of how much Windows XP era design was just better. Not the giant-head video player, or the Fisher-Price color scheme, but like-- remember when things looked like things? Remember when each icon was allowed to be a different color? We let people shit up plain text with sculpted multicolor emoji spam, but the parts that do stuff better be all one shade of gray sharply delineated from another shade of gray.
