--- Comment #29 from Nate Graham <pointedstick at zoho.com> ---
The bottom line is that aesthetics are subjective, but usability isn't. It's
possible for a "flat" design to have perfectly good usability if its UI
elements give the proper visual cues: buttons are recognizably buttons, links
follow the convention of being undermined, icons reasonably resemble the the
concepts they represent, etc. As long as all that's done, the style is a matter
of taste.

If there are legitimate *usability* (as opposed to aesthetic) problems with
Breeze, we should fix them. But "flat" doesn't automatically equal "bad"--and I
say this as someone who prefers a bit more depth to his icons!

Here is an example of a Breeze icon bug that's primarily about a usability
issue rather than an aesthetic preference, even though aesthetics come into it:
