<sarcasm>This is great news! Now all I have to do is not update my browser any more and I won't have to deal with the mess of google, facebook etc. changing their UI every so often and making me search for the new locations of the links to the features I use frequently.</sarcasm>

More seriously, I have set my "google" bookmark to google.com/webhp?complete=0&hl=en because I LIKE the old style better and don't want instant/autocomplete.

Reminds me of Hypercard. I can't think of many better compliments than that.

There's nothing you can do with Hypercard that you can't do in C, and there's lots of things that you can do in C that you can't do in Hypercard. But there's a lot of people who could manage Hypercard to do basic things who probably would never master C. That, I think, is the problem uilang is trying to solve.

There's also no reason why you can't use uilang to do simple things and roll your own code for more complex ones on the same page.

As an aside, back in GNOME 2 it took me perhaps half an hour's reading to get into UI themes and adapt existing ones to suit my preferences, even start designing my own. It was limited but fun to play with. Then comes GNOME 3 with all its fancy CSS and I just can't be bothered to hunt down how I can make a thicker border on the button with tab focus without the buttons jumping around a few pixels whenever I tab to the next one. Sometimes, less is more. (Long live MATE!)
