My thought is that when you look at the UI from a distance, different elements should not be screaming for attention. Let me choose what to look at. I don't want so much noise in the UI. When I see screenshots of the new UI, I always get distracted with all the visual differences in the UI. Look at the pre-2014 update. None of the elements in the UI are demanding more attention than others. It's a professional program. If I want to see if something is switched on I'll look at the button. I don't need it constantly nagging at me visually.
