Okay, a slight departure from trends in user interface design, but nevertheless a trend. The business types (who shall remain conspicuously unidentified) have latched onto the ridiculously misapplied phrase “make it sexy” in reference to designing a good interface.

I want to be very clear: software user interfaces for websites and applications are NOT sexy. They may be stylish, trendy, timely, clean, utilitarian… but NOT sexy!
