I beg to differ with an extreme contrarian view of design. I mostly belong in the International Style camp and I see everything through the lens of Uber-functionalism and judge that decoration is a crime. Stripe camps out on the decoration side of things.

I do find it sexy and bedazzling but that’s exactly why it is not interesting to me. Also Stripe’s taste is copied en-made to the point where it has become a self-propelling cliche in design. A good problem to have I suppose!
