The macOS/iOS 27 liquid glass looks... surprisingly okay? Also I'm glad that they undid the two stupidest changes on macOS, the menu icons and the floating sidebars.

I'm hoping they'll get rid of SF Symbols in macOS 28. And maybe, fingers crossed, deprecate SwiftUI in macOS 29.

@grishka I'm don't know much about MacOS dev ecosystem, but what wrong with SwiftUI?

Regarding liquid glass — 💯! When they showed the bar for icons it was such a relief

@underoot everything that's wrong with all the "modern" "declarative" UI frameworks. They aren't well-suited for building complex two-dimensional properly-desktop layouts. They make fine-grained adjustments to the UI a major pain in the ass, but you really need to be able to make those sometimes to get things just right. The "automatic" animations make the UI look and feel cheap.
