I've worked with several designers for the past years and always end with fights: they overcomplicate the design of the site/app for the user and for us developers
so I redid some of the design elements in Sketch and send it to them, the answer: they get pissed because someone who isn't a designer telling them what to do, what we do at the end: choose my designs because they are easier to approach and more minimal
but minimal and simplistic designs/UIs are not easy, and you might remove some functionalities for the sake of the simple UI but the question is: Do you really need those settings?
you have to make the design approachable to everyone whether they are technical or non technical, and when things get easier for the user to do then the user will get hooked into the platform
there is a book called "Hooked" by Nir Eyal (goodreads.com/book/show/22668729-h...) that tackle this point: simple design can lead users to get hooked to a platform
Well, I feel like those designers were just exceptionally bad, because usually the Designers ask the programmers to remove the irrelevant features.
All design aims to be simple. The perfect UI is a big button which days "do it" and when you press it, the app does the thing you want. Sadly, computers are not that smart yet 😅

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
