I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

Alt and title attributes for screen readers don’t require space. Actual labels require space that might vary greatly depending on the language.

Home | Products | About | Privacy

Takes less screen space than e.g.

Startseite | Produkte | Über uns | Datenschutz

It is still doable, of course. It is just another thing one must account for. Languages that read from right to left or top to bottom are especially hard to implement in a satisfying manner, if you’re not used to it. With icons one can somewhat circumvent the issue.
