I just got this update today and I'm amazed at how terrible it is. I had specifically opted out the new redesign but I guess the button switched itself back on because that's how software is these days! Absolutely unacceptable. I'm not sure if anyone here noticed the new Outlook design but **** it's so horrible and robs you of screen space! I don't get it. These are business programs. Why do they have to change the design so radically and make it so unbearably ugly and impractical? We just want to do work nobody cares about the design as long as it looks somewhat ok and works!
This new Windows 11 design language is terrible. At least Windows 10's touch-screen-friendly design is passable because A) it actually looks decent B) that blocky design fits well on desktop programs
Like on outlook there's a new curved design bar on the left where you select your accounts that robs like 1/3 of the space there. WHY?
I swear to god Microsoft wants to kill off their own products and wants us to switch to MacOS and Linux, there's no other explanation.
