Thanks for doing this Jon.
When I used the Vector version, at first I got an all black screen, which made me think it was broken. I guess that was just a CSS rule to click and delete? :)
Yes.
Yeah, if we don't have a bug about settling on one overlay style, we should. This is pretty bad. Maybe the work being done to split out ve.ui/oo.js/whatever we're calling it might help us settle on a standard?

Right. As noted, it's not actually being used.
To complicate it further, I think the UX team actually now wants to go in a totally different direction with no blue buttons at all (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:WMF_DESIGN_Password_Reset.png).
So we should try to finalize that if possible. That might avoid people having to go back and change their HTML twice (once to use mw-ui, another to e.g. add another layer).
In some cases CSS can be changed alone, but sometimes they have to be changed in tandem, which is more code to touch.
CCing the design list.

Matt, we're not planning on getting rid of blue buttons but the colors will now have meaning, and since this is a one step action (send a password reset email) it gets a green button here.
Blue = Progressive (more steps in the process) Green = Constructive/Completion (only/final step in a process) Red = Destructive

I see, my mistake. I unintentionally exaggerated the semantic changes you're making.
The colors do have meaning already, though the well-known blue button has somewhat orthogonal semantics. mw-ui-primary is currently the key (primary) button of a form, e.g. Log in. That translates to blue in Vector, and is the one currently used on Login and Signup.
mw-ui-constructive is green, and mw-ui-destrructive is read (roughly the same as the proposed standard, though the appearance is different).
Blue = Progressive (more steps in the process) Green = Constructive/Completion (only/final step in a process) Red = Destructive
Still, that is a change in usage. It means both the login and signup will be green, for starters.
