I'm glad somebody with experience finally expressed what I feel.
It amazes me how everybody is so ******* sure of themselves when it comes to design. Like their opinion is the de facto standard for beauty in the world. Get over yourselves.
Not only that, but it also amazes me how many people suddenly seem to be design experts, yet how many of these critics are actually professional designers? Well, I am a professional designer, and while I think there are some inconsistencies and flaws here and there, overall they are moving in the right direction and the sheer volume of hate leveled at these icons is unwarranted.
