Keeping to principles like this at work or for work environments would make it so much easier to have unity. I'm not saying everything should look like this, but that not everything needs to stand out for the sake of standing out. Using the same app every day undoes the need for over the top "visual cues" and complex overlays and material concepts. We need fast, interchangeable stuff, that works with large amounts of data/fields/etc when the content doesn't fit looking like apple.com. :)
I wish you guys luck, and I'll give it a shot the first chance I get.
