Its only me? or i´m the only one here to think that Metro UI is corny like the 80´s ?
i think that as time goes by, people will be ashamed of using this as they were ashamed about their hair style in their pictures from the 80´s :)
I think I feel the opposite. In general I think that simple-looking designs hold up over time better than more elaborate (can I still say skeumorphic?) ones.
Yeah, not really sure where they parent comment is coming from considering Metro draws inspiration from timeless design.
For content yes. With apps you can paint yourself into corner very quickly.
If it's a good site, it could be black and white for all I care. If it's not, a trendy design would make it only worse - now, that's something to be ashamed of, IMHO.
