On: OS X 10.9 Mavericks: The Ars Technica Review

IS it just me or is anyone else disappointed that they didn't port over the flat design elements of iOS7 into the OSX Mavericks UI?

I thought that would have looked awesome on my iMac!

I've only been using 10.9 for a few hours but I have already noticed that some of the unnecessary decoration was removed. Notepad, the notification sidebar, launcher, widgets screen, etc have been toned down.

Scuttlebutt says next release might be your savior.

I'm glad as I never bought into the "Skeuomorphism is the devil" hyperbole and find iOS7 particularly unpleasant to look at.
