I personally like material and flat design, but it’s not just a matter of taste:
Windows, Android, iOS, etc. all have adopted material/flat. Staying with the
old look automatically means that NetBeans will look outdated (which it already
does). A makeover carries the message that the application is kept up to date.
I’m all for it, and I think the designer did a good job.

Hey Glenn,
it is not that I want to Switch the design because the designer says it, it
is becausee I like it. I like the new flat, modern stuff. It is not with much
stuff blurred which is not needed. Of Course before flat and material I liked
the web 2.0 design, it was fancy, nice but now, it is not contemporary anymore,
maybe in 10 years again? I think it happens in that case how you do stuff. And
if you have to look at the netbeans.org page it is old, it is Standing still in
the 90s sry but it is so. The logo too. And the splashscreen could be better
too. The flat stuff was only a proposal for me, because i like flat, sure I can
live with a Background, if they Looks nice, but the current splash Screen are
not my favorites so we should come up with smth new. Other Colors, other Fonts,
etc.

Hate 'em. The NetBeans splash images have always been artful and
inventive. Don't go with the "modern" "flat" look just because designers
are telling us it's fashionable. We aren't using 4.77MHz PCs any more,
it's OK to use a nice-looking image.
