Why does everyone feel the need to remake everything in Material Design these days? I think there's something wrong with me because I absolutely hate Material Design. I find it to be pointless and confusing minimalism that prioritizes form over function. And I find it to be really ugly too -- excessive white space and margins and those god awful drop shadows. With that stupid floating action button that I haven't once found to be intuitive or helpful.

I also see a lot of demand for uniformity across all the interfaces people use. Everything must look the same, or your app or site is crap. I get that consistency can help functionality because it may meet certain expectations of where things are or how to accomplish certain tasks... but I actually like seeing different looks every once in awhile.

I don't remember people complaining about websites having different layouts back in the day but now there's a push to make everything the same. Every blog post is now a Medium post or a medium-like layout. Every commercial site has a stupidly huge header (with optional 100mb video) and GIANT text littered with buzzwords that take forever to get to what the product being sold is.
