To me it's insane to pick on these 4 icons when it's obvious that they were just bolted on together in the previous version as well. Now suddenly a whole Mac Pro laid on top of 2 tools is supposed to be a "great icon by Apple"? Get outta here.

No, Gruber said, "I don’t think the old icons for these apps from MacOS 15 were particularly good"

Correct, then why suddenly the replacements are "dead canary"? The post doesn't make sense. To me they're an improvement, even if a bit flat (flatness we've seen 12 years ago in iOS 7 already)

To me this post sounds like a typical "Steve Jobs wouldn't do this" nonsense.

Obviously the post wouldn't make sense to you if you think the new icons are somehow an improvement.
