Can the Material Design Live Long and Prosper
summary
History and critique of Material Design with concrete claims and tools: MD solves many mobile UI problems but suffers “shadow porn” and heavy feedback animations, poor fit for desktop web and limited data components, and inconsistent typography use. Updates shown include Material Theming Sketch plugin that reapplies colors and type across components and Google Gallery handoff tool that exports to Android web and Flutter. New components: refreshed FAB and bottom navigation, backdrop, chips, banners, and microinteractions. Accessibility and mobile-first intent improve, but web adaptation and form/data UI remain gaps.
