sure. and they render useless quite many things that were useful before.

for example, the sort indicator triangle in a field's grid header: it points 
upwards when the sorting is downwards and vice-versa.

originally, that triangle's height should be at least 3 times its width. and, 
when represented as such, it indicates what it has to: 'small' items on top and 
'big' items at bottom (or vice-versa). just as does the triangle near the 
volume slider on almost every home appliance that has one.

but, with their arrow-like (improved!!!(tm)) look it makes only mess in the 
user's head.
