One UI to end gropes: Samsung facelift crowns your thumb the king

"I suspect you're just being snarky"

I am not. I don't think Material Design is a good thing.

"If you compare apps before and after Material I think you'll find more recent ones are more consistent."

Well, sure, but I'm also bitten by the downside of that. If a design you find to be suboptimal becomes "standard", then sure, you get consistency -- but all that means is that most of the apps you want to use are irritating and hard to use.

In other words, UI consistency across applications is a serious downside if you find that UI to be objectionable.
