Fully agreed, and of course I'm with you. To make my position clear: I don't 
care about transparency, border size, colors, segmentation etc. But I'm 
getting nervous when it comes to flat design because it lacks on the very 
important difference between lowered vs. raised controls which indicate if 
input is available. And you can count on me for icon design, or rather 
predesign that is searching for metaphors and, of course, evaluating the 
results (http://user-prompt.com/semiotics-in-usability-guidelines-for-the-development-of-icon-metaphors/).
