Re: This is a much smaller update than going from Windows 7 to Windows 10
Skeuomorphic design has, I'm afraid, served its purpose and its day is done.
IMHO Skeuomorphic design makes the user interface more comfortable for the eye. The new "modern" interfaces feel like a return to the bad old times of 8bit processors and low-res graphics with severely limited color space. Something most of us happily left behind in the past where it belongs to.
Of course for millennials it might look fresh and fancy, but for most others the new-old flat interfaces are just an eyesore.
