Well, today's fads of those "dark themes" or "flat look" are more a PITA 
than truly a nightmare

Only if you're a child back in those days, as an adult, you were pretty 
safe. But then today a lot of folks have problems growing up...

That is a very personal experience. I had a customer who set up here 
computer is the most nausea inducing (for me) color scheme of pink, 
purple, neon green and yellow. I could not work on if for 2 minutes, but 
she was getting her job done each day of the week just fine.

But I have lots of clients complaining about all those "flat" menues in 
M$ Office and such, which makes it hard specially for older people to 
discern the different functionalities, because it all looks the same. A 
lot of "modern UX" folks should be taken out to the alley and stuck in a 
dumpster...
