"Modern Commenting"
"Modern" is an interesting word. From Latin modo (meaning "just now") it implies nothing except blind acceptance of change. Why that should automatically be desirable is not at all clear, but at least one entire industry (clothing fashion) is based on it, and as Larry Ellison famously said "IT is more fashion driven than ladies' fashion".
It's probably why we had Clippy, the infamous ribbon and the subsequent flat block GUI forced on us - not because they were necessary or fulfilled specific needs but just for the sake of change.
