Now they will bring them back, but with so many shadows and edges that our poor, beset-upon user, who just finally figured out where they can and can't click on a field of identical boxes called "flat ui", will experience vertigo as they try to mentally process what can and can't be done with this quasi-3d world that is presented to them.
