I was referring to the earlier iterations, with "shiny" buttons, lots of gradients, etc.

11+ to my eyes has more of a "timeless" potential. It's a bit more utilitarian, less showy and particular.

The early Aqua look and feel was informed by the industrial design of the Macs running it. Consumer Macs were very colorful up until about 2003 and had a lot of the texture effects the Aqua L&F was emulating.
