What's wrong with the 90s UX? It lets you do your work without being intrusive or annoying, so what's wrong with it?

Sorry but a word processor that doesn't trigger a 9 second laggy animation with every button press is just simply unusable

the tabbed UI is way better, much easier to find stuff if you havent already memorized it.

i know libreoffice has it but it should 100% be the default instead of the ancient paradigm of just throwing a million unorganized buttons in there and hoping you remember where everything is.

90s UIs are dying for a good reason.

So, the problem is that people doesn't have a working memory anymore, is that so?

not really, people just wanna use it for the work they are using that software for, not navigating a bad ui

But people in the 90s were doing their work just fine, with that same UX paradigm. What's the difference now?

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that software's UI and UX doesn't need to evolve. But it bothers me that a perfectly usable UI gets criticized only because it's "old" and doesn't look "modern" (tf is a "modern UI", btw?).

the difference is that we want guis to be better than they were. yes you can still use a 90s ui.

im not criticizing it because its "old". i think i gave a pretty good reason in my OP.

It's not popular in the mainstream, that's what's wrong's with it
