After a glance at others' answers, it's the same thing: the trend away from skeuomorphism.
I always think about the time I discovered an Android area was horizontally scrollable - with no scrollbars to clue me in, it was only the fact that the icon I wanted wasn't there that prompted me to discover the secret. I'm a software dev, if it's unintuitive even to me, how do non-technical people stand a chance?
As a software dev myself, I must say with all due respect that devs are not known for their intuition.
