Comment on Show HN: FlatUIKit - Flat UI components for iOSparent

>Buttons are still buttons, text entry boxes behave as before, radio buttons still let you choose one option, sliders slide, etc etc.

They might be, if I can figure out which flat rectangle out of the dozens presented to me is a button or a dropdown or whatever. Say what you will about minimalism and removing unnecessary ornaments, but it is NOT cool to remove visual cues for interaction.

At least the buttons here have shadows underneath that give some sense of depth. But at this rate, we'll be throwing decades worth of UX design out with the bathwater if designers blindly follow <graphic-design-trend-of-the-year>.
