I don't hate icons, per se. I just find them hard to use. For whatever reason, I have to think about icons a lot more than words, even after I'm very familiar with them. Watching others, most folks don't seem to have this problem - words and icons seem about equally fluid for them. And I'm fine if they don't move - I remember them by location. But I'm very slow to 'read' icons. The most common situation that highlights this is tab-application-switching. Those are never in the same order twice, and I have to stare at them until I can pick out the icon of the app I'm thinking of. I've looked for hacks that would replace the icons with words, but haven't seen one, at least on MacOS.
