I think a lot of these things make interactions more pleasant, definitely more aesthetically pleasing. I know people love to hate on everything new but I grew up on early windows (my first PC was Windows 95) and I always thought it was kinda ugly but PCs couldn’t handle much more.

I think you can face-lift the W95/W2000 system without losing the usability, people just didn't do that. That's what I hate the most about "modern" UIs, designers make them look pretty and degrade usability, instead of just making them pretty.

What's worse is, (at least IMO) they aren't even particularly pretty.

What would you say the modern windows shell is missing that existed in Windows 2000?

XP is basically the W95/W2000 interface but pretty.
