i'm convinced this style is the next big thing in web UI - at least for startups/simple web tools/anything more dekstop-oriented than mobile-oriented.

it's such great a rejection of all the stale, boring, "clean" UI convention that we're drowning in today.

it's not just nostalgia - it's fun, it's rebellious, it has real character. it shouts "I'm having fun, why shouldn't you?"
