I'd claim that this is way better than what we've got after years of UX/UI "research" and "improvements".

And it's not that I'm some old boomer. In '98 I was one year old. I just hate buttons which don't look like buttons, tabs which don't look like tabs, text fields that you have to click to discover they're editable etc.

That said I'm not a fan of the black text over dark gray background.

Also, that website includes "show code" buttons disguised as ordinary text.
