Impersonally like iOS designs. I like when things like Apollo follow the stock feel. It normally comes out nice.

It's alright, but I'm not obsessed with having everything conform to it like some people are
After having just upgraded to Linage OS on my OP 7 Pro, I am actually enjoying Material You. It's a nice change.
Grown to liking it. I agree some areas could use a little less padding.
I don't come across many apps using it though.
I'm not a fan of the huge padding or the "rounded edges" of it, much better during the KitKat days, in my opinion.
I'm not. I actually like it. One of favourite apps sync for reddit made awesome use of Material You. I hope more of my apps support it. But, I do understand if some may not like it. An option to tweak certain things should be given IMHO.
I miss old material design, the one we got to see with lollipop. Material you is... boring? It also doesn't seem consistent.
I love the original material design introduced in lollipop and gets polished in subsequent versions. Material you feels... idk, unfinished? I don't really mind the "bigness" of it, sure it could've been smaller, but what I really dislike about it is the color system that seems half-baked, for example I use a grey wallpaper and MY gives me light blue instead.
I love it
I was tired of it before they launched it.
I love Material You when apps are designed to work with Monet color theming and use the default system navigation bar. Apps that deviate from that become an eye sore.
That being said, Material isn't my favorite design language for mobile OSes. I still prefer interfaces based on layers of gaussian blur, like iOS 7, Windows' Aero and similar.
Oh man, don’t even remind me of iOS 7. So much promise, but it really hasn’t panned out how they (probably) envisioned it.
I would love a phone UI that was more about those glass like layers stacking and blurring nicely.
I loved the look of Vista, it feels like macOS has been dipping its toe in the glass look for years but never actually taking the plunge.
I always style my terminals to have a strong Gaussian blur behind the window and as few decorations as possible. I think to me the Tron Legacy desk computer UI is the mood board I’d want for a new UI.
I love material you, the 'flatness' and pastel colors look really good to me (android 14 is going to introduce more colors outside of pastels though)
When MY first comes out everyone around seems to be a huge fan of it. I thought I was the one who got ancient tastes.
No.
Yeah, I'm not going to say Google doesn't waste space. There's definitely a difference between stylistic padding, and literally not using a section of the screen for no reason.
