Yosemite has a terrible UI for dyslexics

Would it be wiser that Apple at least keep the original UI for Yosemite?

I hate the flatness, I dislike it and it does not do a thing to help me read properly other than burning my eyes from straining. I do wear glasses, but it does not help due to the nature of dyslexia.

I will roll back until Apple has actually made a better alternative look for the hipster flatness that follows Windows 8's style of flat.

I went Mac solely for this reason and I'm not wanting to move to Linux just because of the horrible battery life and the god-awful UI this version of Mac OS X has now.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10), 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM, i5 4288U

There's nothing wrong about staying with Mavericks. There are still people even using Snow Leopard (2009) and they are still happy. I think the "hipster flatness" as you call it, will be with us for a long time.

Long time you say? If anything, all Yosemite would need is a theme manager, which officially changes the UI to look like Mavericks and just call it Legacy mode. All it needs is a Wi-Fi fix up and maybe a minor UI tweak to be less straining on the eyes.

I'll stay with Mavericks as long as I need I guess.

I completely agree with you. I hate the transparencies, the low contrast and the new font. For the first time I want to change the look of OS, like I used to do when I was with Windows long time ago.
For me this is new UI is ugly.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
