No, flat doesn't need to go away. A near 90% adoption rate of iOS 7 is evidence that it doesn't.
I might be in the minority but I preferred cat names to be honest.
The problem is that Steve couldnt pronounce Jaguar. He kept saying jag-wire :-(
In every non-English speaking country the pronounciation is the equivalent of "OhEs Ex". Nobody calls it "OS Ten"...

I seriously hope your wrong this Monday. I am very much looking forward to seeing OS X transition to a flat UI.
Yet adoption rates were higher than ever before.The high adoption rate for iOS 7 wasn't because it was flat. It was because it was newest and current. If there were an option 'B' for iOS 7 that included Scott Forstall design, I would have taken that instead.

Frankly, this new 'OS per year idea' needs to end.
Improving something that is perfect already produces crap.
Just add the new features onto existing OS via the App Store to keep it competitive.

You can't conflate adoption w/ popularity when users don't really have a choice. It's like saying black was the most popular color for the Model T. Sure users can stick w/ an older OS but sooner than later users will find an app that requires the most recent version. Office for iPad for example.

People in English speaking countries say OS X (ex) as well but we also know that X is the Roman numeral for 10. I believe that all non-English speaking countries know this as well. It's just what people say... no big deal.
NO MORE FLAT!!! Flat sucks. I want depth. I want details that inform the user on how to use the interface. Flat is boring and bland. I want elements separated by borders or drop shadows so it is easier to tell what is what. This whole flat fad needs to go away. It is just a fashion thing like skinny jeans and v-neck tee shirts, entirely impractical and uncomfortable.
From now on it'll simply be "OS X". No number, nobody cares about that anyway.

And forced.
