Why it’s a failure
- Promised elegance, delivered “Where’s Waldo?” for your icons
- Buttons so fuzzy they camouflage into the wallpaper
- Icons look crooked, as if they’ve had one too many Appletinis
- Unfortunate nickname from Reddit: “Liquid Ass”
- Transparency effects that make Windows Vista look innovative
- Apple proved once again: not every UI needs to look like a cocktail glass
