My issue here is specifically with the usage of the word "dated".
Typically, when people use this word to refer to interface, they don't highlight the differences in features or trends; and they don'ty take into account that different users might do different things, and thus require different designs. The whole thing gets oversimplified as "its newer so gooder lol lmao", or as if the old design had an expiration date.
