Simplicity is underrated when it comes to designing modern products.
The User Experience of an application should be as simple as possible so that users can navigate from A to B without second thoughts.
In order to achieve so, we have to ditch a bunch of bells and whistles so we keep the absolutely meaningful elements and features in the viewport of the end-user.
Stick to the core business goal and get rid of anything distractive if you want to help your customers do their job using your product.
