  • My feeling as a frontend dev was that Material Design You is just run of the mill enshittification at Google. Around the time that came out, Google also started to hide more buttons in the UI, made the drop down shade much more clumsy, got rid of the excellent Pixel fingerprint scanner, etc.

    It felt to me like some other busy body design team had to show innovation and so made Material You adopt your wallpaper colors (in some ugly variation). It was like the MySpaceification of Android.

    Material Design spawned some of my favorite projects, like MUI: https://mui.com/

    That tracks Material v2 (pre you) and IMO is the best web UI currently available. There's some tentative work on adding Material You, but I hope they don't. It's a step backward IMO, form over function and against the original spirit of Material as a usability design library. https://github.com/mui/material-ui/issues/29345
