I see it as a generic name for the set of modern ideologies that determine someone’s morality based on how many immutable characteristics they share with people who have historically been oppressed.
That said, I think it would be better if the closing delimiter was different from the opening one. Yesterday I had an LLM output text where it forgot one of the delimiters, causing all text inside code blocks to actually be outside and vice-versa.

<input type="text" value="Is this text visible?" />
That wasn’t my comment, and GP was presumably referring to things like headings being larger, not some subtle differences that dyslexic people would miss.
The point is that a computer will just be another thing for them to learn, not a replacement for other tools they’ve been using for tens of years. Therefore, the computer does not need to look like those other tools in order to make sense to them.

I know the most common reason why people prefer skeuomorphic design (the visual metaphor), which is why my original reply directly addressed this complaint by saying that it’s no longer relevant. Some other complaints I’ve found online are about specific bad instances of flat design rather than flat designs in general. Therefore, I am asking about reasons that don’t fall under these two categories, which I haven’t been able to find.
What’s wrong with flat UIs? Skeuomorphic designs have served their purpose of helping people get used to computers, but now that is no longer necessary.

This would not be the case in the hypothetical situation where Windows becomes a Linux distro.
What if I want websites to have different fonts because it gives them unique voices? Also, what about websites that use OpenType features only supported by some fonts (small caps, math, variable axes, etc.)?
