one thing i dislike about "good design" in general is that it usually takes away from information density and practical convenience in order to achieve "good design". this feels like a bad tradeoff. i wish that designers cared about making things more accessible and delightful rather than impressing fellow designers.
Agree. Info-dense designs are also more difficult to implement and many designers lack experience in this area. E.g., creating a coherent design system that uses borders instead of excessive padding to separate elements is much more difficult than it may seem.
