He mentions sacrificing usability in favor of making the visual design more beautiful, but the examples he gives as "beautiful" elements are often MORE usable! The settings options with inline actions save the user a click. The toggles with gripper bars and "on/off" labels convey information to the user. Calling simple/complex designs more or less attractive is a matter of opinion but USABILITY can be quantified and that's had a serious loss with the wave of flat design
