    it should not change unexpectedly, period.

    I don’t want to install an update and have the ui completely change on me because some dev wanted to pad out his resume by starting a new project on the fresh-framework-of-the-day.

      Yes.

      Pointless UI changes are a fucking atrocity, cause they are always more complicated and more informational overload than the previous design, while being more resource intensive and slower.

      KISS is a motto for a reason. Unfortunately its the stupid people that seem to make the decisions and don’t register that they are the ones KISS is directed at.

      Of course it shouldn’t, that’s one of the core principles of UI design, but these days it does anyway so it is an old person trait now
