In the case of a keyboard focused UI (such as the zulip example) I would agree with this post. But with a mouse UI my actions tend to always rely on my eyes feedback.
I don't think that I have ever been bitten by a mouse UI modification (excluding the case of a webpage making an async call that adds a bouton in the middle of a menu...)
Note to the author: you seem to like minimalist webdesign. However, long lines are not pleasant to read. http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ is a good inspiration.
- bryanrasmussen 9y agoif mouse ui relies on eyes feedback then have you ever been bitten by visual modifications, because I have, the place I used to expect to click is gone, no longer clickable, or produces slightly different result than what it used to result in.
- JeanMarcS 9y agoI agree for the mouse. I guess when you (you, me, anyone) grab your mouse, you change your focus so you switch to visual. Perhaps designers or people using mouse only softwares might be more sensitive about UI changing on desktop. But when you're using an app on a smartphone or tablet, it's still your hands and I think that's when it becomes a problem if the UI have radically changed.
- parenthephobia 9y agoA colleague mentioned that ever since Windows 3.0 (maybe before) you've (usually) been able to close a window by double-clicking in the top-left corner, where the window menu button used to be. Later that button was replaced with the window icon, but the menu and the double-click still worked. Now, even though that button isn't visually there in many programs - such as Explorer - clicking where it would have been (usually) still works, and double-clicking there still closes it. Sadly, there are some programs which haven't preserved this interaction, such as Firefox.
