The end of the nice GTK button

It does not look like a button. It's just a label floating around.

When designing user interfaces, use the mantra: "Don't make me think!" Don't make the user think about whether something is a button or not. Don't make them have to infer that the label is in fact a button due to context.

Just make it look like a button!

I am but an ignorant user, but making you think to do complete one action but not another seems to be a significant part of the point. I find it deeply coercive, and hope to see the other side of this trend sooner rather than later.

Yeah... personally I detest anything flat or rounded... give me square pixel sharp corners any-day... and not just for buttons.
