often my irritation comes from _absence_ of text. modern mobile ui is full of single-color icons that don't look like anything at all (tabs, buttons, links, menus) and which don't have any text labels. it all looks sleek, but doing anything complex is out of the question, and even doing simple things is a chore.
i talk to inanimate objects, and lately i often tell software to use its words, like a big boy.
