Oh man. I am a sort of pragmatic AI cynic and I wasn't even a fan of how Windows 98 looked but my heart just skipped a beat.

What does it do if you suggest it looks like an OpenLook/XView/OpenWindows application? (That is where my heart really belongs)

Doubt there's much in the training set...

Wow, that's immediately so much better than the others to the point its kind of sad.

We've really went behind in terms of UX as an industry.

This one works well. I think it's because there's no shine to it, it's just the data, what you need, right there without trying to fluff it all out with rounded edges and superfluous stuff.

I use to make whole websites using system colors. The colors kept getting worse and eventually everyone hated it including myself.

I really wish CSS added an option to set font antialiasing and hinting. Would make all these old windows style websites look 1000x better.

For some balance in the replies, I must say I find this rather hideous. To each their own, I suppose.

That's refreshingly usable and not-slop-looking, nice additional style.
