I don't know what it is about the 95, 98, 2000 era of Windows UI and aesthetics but I still strongly prefer it.



It was functional and clear, unlike modern "hide everything" UIs?


Very true, especially when it comes to scroll bars and similar elements. While I do enjoy some "modern" aesthetics from time to time, the Win98 style UI just feels far more "productive", for lack of a better term.

And as much as I like that Linux in many ways often keeps that type of UI around, I still feel like Win98 did it better (almost can't believe I'm saying that).
