I do agree with you, but I have a real issue with the current trend of UIs where everything is just text & icons thrown on the same panel (like here in HN, or the latest macOS). I tend to miss the old paradigms where applications had/tried to respect a minimum of visual consistency with others and things such as OS-wide theming allowed to adjust ALL applications to your taste and visual abilities.
