Website design philosophies:

Apple: "...and a really big picture there, and a really big picture there, and a really big picture there, and..."

Microsoft: "border-radius:0 !important;"

Google: "EVERYTHING MOVES!!! And most websites get material design. Most."

Amazon: "We're slowly moving away from 2009"

Wix: "How can we further increase load times?"

Literally any download site: "Click here! No, click here! Nononono!! Click here!!..."

Facebook: "We can't change anything because our main age demographic is around 55"

University websites: "That information isn't hard enough to find yet. Decrease the search accuracy and increase broken links."

    I wonder of this is the real conversation happening behind the scenes. It would stress the heck out of the engineers

    @jschmold I used to date a girl, until I found out she made all her "sites" using wix..

    Granted she titled herself as a designer, but still...

    Wix in short: drag & drop looking fine on the facade but.. Just don't look behind it.
    Unless you are some kind of masochist, loving eye bleeding that is.

    I'd add that Facebook also mute feature development as a lot of the time it costs them a lot in data and traffic so they probably have to look at everything with cost benefit shades.

    @Scrumplex

    The only reason I came to this thread 3 years later is to professor my utter contempt and undying white-hot hatred all-things that are the absolute dumpster fire that is material design.

    God damn do I hate it. If hell exists, may the creators of material design burn in it forever. Or be subjected to material design for eternity, whichever turns out to be worse.
