I was an original Macintosh Beta tester back in 1983, and I raised this exact same issue. I built all my apps with text + icon buttons and got penalized for it.

I was an original Macintosh Beta tester back in 1983, and I raised this exact same issue. I built all my apps with text + icon buttons and got penalized for it. One of several reasons why an early Mac beta developer left Mac development, not writing code for the OS for a decade afterwards. (PC users were lucky to have Windows 1.0 around that time, and I did well writing GUIs for corporations that wanted better.)
