We got the same work done, but I don’t miss it. I suppose we needed this transition period of on-screen buttons that looked like raised buttons until we all got used to interpreting what could be clicked on without the visual clues. The bevels just took up space, I’m glad they’re gone.
iirc studies have shown the opposite. Interfaces that use visual cues for buttons such as bevels and other 3D skeuomorphism cause users to operate interfaces significantly faster and with fewer mistakes. You personally may not like the aesthetic, but the data is very clear that skeuomorphism makes people use their devices faster and better

Scott Forstall, is that you?
