I actually have the opposite opinion. I think the Apple version looks 10 years old (which is about the age it actually is. IOS 7 came out around 2013 iirc.) The rounded rectangles looks 20 years old. But is more usable so is superior in my opinion. I agree that the font the author chose is less aesthetic but it is much easier for someone with dyslexia or adhd to read, making it more functional as well.
The spelling mistake in the first sentence really throws me off. I'm not trying to be overly picky or pedantic but after reading only 7 words into a multiple-thousand word long post and seeing an error, I begin to think that this may be a tough read. I also subconsciously begin to assume that the browser this person wrote must be riddled with bugs. Whether that's fair or not.
