i get that and definitely feel it was overused (my notes app, for example, doesn't need a leather menu bar and ripped page effect)

…but i think in some contexts it helped create a sense of place!

I agree with the sentiment but I can’t say I actually miss the design. But it does feel like a lot of modern design is missing… warmth
