The only people who feel it's heretical are designers with too little experience. Very few people would insist these icons were good design: http://i.imgur.com

Unlabeled icons are an antipattern in all but a handful of cases.

- TeMPOraL 9y agoWhat you saw isn't actually bad, because - unlike the current icon storm on mobile - each icon on that screenshot has a tooltip. Hovering a mouse over a button and waiting for a tooltip is one of the most basic computer use skills. And if you have that, then icons suddenly have a better value proposition. Not that I personally like icons. I feel I can pattern-match a word faster than I can pattern-match an icon.
