Funnily as a design developer, i switch off all UI enhancements because they slow down the system. So my system looks almost like Windows 95 confusing people.
I think the inconsistency is the price of having a system with so many features. I rather have them than have consistent Windows. Moreover, sometimes updating UI does not go as planned.
A regular calculator started like a breeze. After redesigning it in Windows 10 it takes several seconds to load. It is not a time worth spending if you add 2 plus 2.
To sum it up, consistent UI is great. But if it comes to my OS i don't care about it too much. More about the speed.
I remember doing this with my Intel Atom netbook because it had the processing power of a baked potato, but with any modern system (something made in the last 8 years) with GPU acceleration, does it matter? I haven't noticed much of a difference in my Thinkpad with a fourth generation i5. Which is the oldest machine I have Windows installed on.
