Clean and usable. It's not like Windows 3.1 or 68K-era Mac OS - or modern Windows - where everything's flat. Undifferentiated. Lacking visual hierarchy, despite necessary functional hierarchy. Windows 95 managed relief shading and instant on-click skeumorphism in sixteen colors.

Nowadays they're afraid to put text on buttons. The buttons don't even depict things! You get a field of abstract squiggles, all with the same color and weight.

And it's not like Windows 95 was built for experts. There's a "click Start" animation on first boot, it offers a "Windows tour" on every boot, and everything sprouts a tooltip if you hesitate. They treated users like distracted idiots - unlike today, where they treat you like a child.

Teams and/or Outlook recently rolled out an update that changed the button from saying "(logo) Join" to just be a picture of a camera in the calendar reminder popup. Truly obscene.

Mac is not much better. Tons of buttons with no text. Tooltips take a crazy amount of time to popup. No way to change that without using the terminal either.
