   I fuckin hate whatever school of UI design this is. It's all over Adwaita apps also and by itself it makes me groan when I learn an app has switched to Adwaita

     Everybody made fun of the toolbars-on-toolbars design of Microsoft Word 6 or whatever but at least those icons utilized color and made some sort of attempt to express what their purpose was

     As I get older, two things happen

     1. My eyesight gets worse

     2. Visual information is being progressively removed from user interfaces to a greater and greater degree, such that I need better eyesight to use the same apps to the same level of capability

     Also, apps now frequently auto-update and move things around, just in case I wanted to learn to use the app by simply memorizing the positions of icons

     @mcc GTK has somehow managed to get significantly worse with each release. I loathe their file open/save dialogs.
