Google has launched Material 3 Expressive, a new UI design system focused on emotional expression while maintaining neutrality. Although some users appreciate the functionality and consistency, many express disappointment with the design's lack of inspiration, criticizing its safety and universality. There are concerns that the system may degrade over time as poorly designed applications emerge, reminiscent of previous versions. Users reminisce about times when design allowed for more personal expression and creativity, contrasting with today’s corporate-driven aesthetics. There are suggestions for a demo section and a call for a more rational design system, indicating a desire among some to see a balance between creativity and functionality.
