I can’t stand this. I loved WordPress for their excellent organization and very read-able, beautiful interface. The fonts were strong and the visual elements had a slight “3D” aspect which made it very comfortable to look at and operate.
But like many other sites and applications, they’ve changed their interface to look amateurish, flat, ugly and bland, harder to read quickly, has zero distinctions/divisions among visual elements, and looks exactly like the boring trend careening across so-called “modern” website designs now. It’s like one of those terrible cheap sites people first made when we learned how to code HTML in high school.
WordPress used to be beautiful! Now it looks like Yahoo. It’s as if 3.7 was designed by Apple’s excellent GUI designers and 3.8 was designed by the corner-cutting high school interns who ‘design’ GUIs for all the cheap tablet imitators.
