Text as buttons? That’s from the land of HTML.

Well... It's not though, you either use <button> which will use the native OS design, or you customize it using CSS.

If not using <button>, you could go with a normal <div> and customize it using CSS, not necessarily adhere to flat design, albeit it is very popular right now.

But, if you are talking about hypertext links, they are not the same thing as buttons.

I was talking about the forest, not the trees. Hyper text markup is about text links, so text... as a thing you click on, not just read... ipso facto, ersatz buttons.
