When there is one thing I hate about modern UIs is the lack of scrollbars. UIUX always talk about affordability but why do they stop there and ignore the humble scrollbar which signals that the content it is attached to is scrollable!?
Everything about modern UI is about appearance over function. Is a window resizeable? No way to know because no windows have frames. Is that text a button? No way to know because buttons don't have frames either.
Every Modern app is clicking the screen at random until you learn the interactive elements.
Well we had modern UIs with appearance + function. It was during the Frutiger Aero era (mac OS X, Windows Vista). But that got lost somehow, and that makes me sad :(
As it always is, GTK and Qt apps look inconsistent. Also the panel icons look too modern. Other than that good even though I don't like retro UI. 9/10.

This. And let's not talk about nested scrollable areas with disappearing bars
