They switched to a sidebar because all screens are widescreens now. Having toolbars on the top or bottom just worsens the situation. If your netbook screen is only 1024 x 600, you don't need to lose even more vertical resolution to a task bar.

- SkyMarshal 16y agoAgreed. It definitely needs an optional auto-hide for those of us who use Gnome-Do and the like. Imho that's the ultimate solution to limited screen real-estate on netbooks and tablets - no more menu at all, replaced by an easy hotkey that pops up a panel with all the functionality and information you need. Menu bars are relics, but maybe the UX designers making these decisions think that's too much of a departure from what most of their users already know?
