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

I don't like animations, smooth transitions, smooth scrolling, rounded boxes and needless notification on the corner (unless it's a chatting app).

There can be inner shadows/colour gradients. It depends.

I liked how clean was Windows 9x design. Embossed buttons, same font family for design everywhere.. Pop-ups didn't have to 'fade in', just instantly appeared on the screen instead.

Animations and transparencies are the first thing I disable when I install an new OS.
