Oh god! If this "modern" turns out to be just a passing trend, I'd hate to see the advent of post-modernism in UI design :)



One could make the argument that Forstall's iOS was post-modern. The choice of using real-word textures such as leather and notepaper were not just about helping novice computer users, they also seemed like an aesthetic choice, decorative features along the lines of Robert Venturi's architecture. I think Forstall might have agreed with him that "less is a bore".
