well this is not exactly unique to software. It is not a given that the 'handmade' nature of a product (luxury or otherwise) manifests in anything tangible or self-evidently superior. Luxury products in general overwhelmingly trea

using text would lay bare the silliness of the radial menu pattern - it either wouldnt fit neatly into the circular containers or, if conformed to the curvature of the radial menu, would be unreadable/low accessibility

this approach is definitely more usable. radial menus only make ergonomic sense on ie game controllers. with a mouse it becomes a high precision action to use, plus poor accessibility because it doesnt conform to the standard box model.

complete disaster. terrible for your skin, feels gross, falls apart, and cannot be repaired. meanwhile my cotton pants that have been repaired many times are still treasured wardrobe items almost 10 years on.

rounded corners are actually a significant accessibility factor and powerful gestalt mechanism in design. The border radius of a rounded rect makes it discernable at a glance the boundaries of the element and what is inside and what is out.

I too love flex but your comment is a bit off. bootstraps grid system is a fake grid modelled on flex. building layout grids with flex in general is definitely not endgame, its actually very tedious and unreliable. css grid however is perf
