Evolving backwards would be returning to ergonomic UIs with clear HIG being followed, having a scriptable variant for every class of applications, and any piece of software, OS UI included, not acting as an advert. Contrasts and colors and bright pictures are not what I need to see while working. It’s as if your screwdriver was built in the form of an alien fish dildo, and had a chain of ringing bells. Why is this bullshit considered normal and usual with computer interfaces, I dunno.
And a company’s website is its interface to the world, for the user. Not its advert. They’ve already seen the advert or don’t need it if they are on that website! They want to actually use it.

That sounds intriguing.
Don’t forget the spikes.
I think you’ll find that, sadly, nobody is worse for HIG than software engineers, especially Linux aficionados.
They like their design as unpalatable and shit-lookalike as possible.
I won’t. I see what designers do that looks nice if you only look at it like at a nice pic. Software engineers at least intend to use what they make.
Yeah… That explains the user experience Windows offers versus Mac.
Anybody who’s being honest will say Mac is nicer to use, especially non-tech people. Only nerds prefer the Windows design language over Windows.
Let’s face it: if Macs could run game as well as windows, Microsoft would go bankrupt tomorrow.
My experience with Macs was that they are bloody unusable, so can’t help you. They cause me anxiety, kill my eyes and irritate without end.
Can’t say it’s worse than Windows, of course.
I, too, am a Linux user.
