I think there are some good points in there about flat design's limitations, but none of that has to do with responsive design.

@brad_frost I was deliberate to say responsive was inappropriately paired with minimalist design and it has much to offer on its own.

@eli_schiff I feel you're conflating two issues, and as a result implying responsive design is responsible for poorly executed flat design.

@brad_frost Funny thing is I actually ventured to say the opposite: that responsive design was a false justification for imposing flatness.

@brad_frost Clickbaity title. Designer complaining about design trends, sounds about a normal day on the internet.

@brad_frost Sounds like someone is butthurt they can’t overuse gradients in their designs anymore.

@brad_frost you’re gonna need a lot of soap.

@vasuvasu @brad_frost I took him to task for misrepresenting things (long thread): https://twitter.com/robpenner/status/590968141833895936 … He's edited the article after.

@robpenner @brad_frost also, i wasn’t a fan of the screenshot manipulating he was doing.

@vasuvasu @brad_frost Interesting. Can you explain?

@robpenner @brad_frost Tweetbot and Twitterrific are *more* customizable than before and can look *more* different than before

@vasuvasu @robpenner @brad_frost Yeah, he aligned those grabs for the least variation between the 3 apps, noticed that :-/

@Twitterrific @vasuvasu @brad_frost Focus of articles seems to be designer job security, prestige, distinctiveness vs serving the user.

@brad_frost I don't understand the praise this is getting.

@kyle_conrad There seem to be some good points in there about flat design. But none of that is related to responsive design.

@brad_frost agreed - it seems like he's equating the two, instead of separating out the different pieces.
