--- Comment #27 from Jens Reuterberg <jensreu at kolabnow.com> ---
Sry you are right "click bait" is a strong term. It's just that in my circles
its sort of like when people say "thats skeumorphism!" while pointing at for
example beveled buttons and how that becomes a truth used to slap down good
design practices.

The statements within it is already well known and have been for a very long
time and is something that most of us work towards. Those fixes are layout and
indicators. Essentially what is being said in the text isn't close to being as
dramatic as the header.

This isn't a "flamewar". 

Simplified design, vs realistic Design (skeumorphism is the mimicing of real
world objects and can be equally true in simplified as in realistic design) is
not a "flamewar" - at a certain point both styles have benefits - in one
certain things are more easily done, in another other things are more easily
done. Both come with drawbacks and demands. Both of these "schools" (lets say)
and their demands are well known.

Breeze is constantly improving and changing - but it wont change its design
language to follow fads or subjective preferences. That is better served either
by a fork, or by another icon theme.
