After giving this more thought, I agree that:
However I do not agree that using platform native controls is a good idea here. That’s like using platform native emoji, which leads to weirdness in interpretation and style.
So if we remove the button style entirely – which also has the huge advantage of doing away with that ugly, hacky “a green button means it is selected” style – and transition to the font awesome glyphs for radio and check, that’s a change I can support, and I no longer disagree with the rationale @claas.
The behavior will still be button, e.g. clicking anywhere on that line will trigger a check or radio. Just the visual style of button is removed completely in favor of the glyphs.
@tgxworld will be working on the essential change to de-button polls for 1.6.
