The 2d design of modern interfaces is terrible. Everything looks like a "Label". Scrollbars are terrible. Light gray on dark gray. And, worst of all, they need 3d acceleration to draw a bloody 2d label.

Disagree it's worst of all. Why should a specialized piece of hardware not render labels? Even tosters have some GPU cores these days.

They do. It is 3d borders that they are strugling with. And borders bigger than 1px are impossible. /s
