This can be a relevant reminder at times, but based on their phrasing, I think they’re aware:

> Personally I prefer […] looks extremely dated to me now.

Compare to the GP comment, for instance, where this may still be the case but is less clear from phrasing:

> They're just so much more pleasant

Indeed, I tried to not repeat their mistake of sounding like you’re speaking in objective terms.

That’s my point. They were stating it like it was objective, so I countered with my subjective opinion.
