Can you elaborate?


Yes. These people spend way too much time trying to get things right that they over complicate it and generally don't do a great job of making things usable.


Sorry, I get what you mean, but I was wondering if you might be willing to share some examples?

I'm a frontend dev who occasionally hears this complaint from certain users. If there were some way to be more accommodating to them, I'd love to learn! For example, some people hate the "modern" use of a lot of whitespace with less text density, or mobile menus on desktop (I hate that too), etc.

I don't think any UX designer sets out to purposely try to overcomplicate things, but there are good designers and bad designers out there, and also, most of them are young and don't have the lived experience of older computer users and don't remember older UIs. I would love to share comments and tips with them if I knew what the specific issues were.
