I miss the days when applications had their own look and feel. If your idea of great design is identical rectangles to all the other apps, I guess Winforms solved that use case 20 years go.

It’s perfectly possible to still have a unique look and feel without completely forsaking all the platform affordances. You get a lot of stuff for free or very cheap building using the platform toolkits: stuff that people internalise and expect to work without even realising it. I think it’s a bad idea to throw that all away.
