Mobile first applications make software difficult to use, compromising features to the limited nature of mobile devices.
It is a worrying trend driven not by practical but appearance focused design not only corrupting desktops but the web too.
So many good old software or solutions go down the drain being ported to mobile platform and becoming increasingly difficult to use or/and pure dumb.
Mobile platforms are auxiliary from productivity point of view, never can be the main thing. Have its good place where it shines but fails terribly elsewhere. Putting into the centre brings degradation.
- nine_k 7y agoIs a laptop a mobile device? Is my laptop with an i7 and 32GB RAM a crippled device? Imagine a 15" iPad Ultra Pro with comparable hardware, running iOS, with wireless keyboard and mouse / touchpad. Could it be a real workstation?

- mihaaly 7y agoWorking on a handheld device with fingers requires different approach than keyboard and mouse put on a desk together with the device, the trouble is with the OS and software not with the technical specification. If those are made for one, effective for one, will be crippled for the other. Also try using the same software on both 5" and 32" and with either finger only or keyboard and mouse only, efficiently. Good luck with that! If powerful processor and plenty of RAM would make a laptop then your Playstation was a laptop too! :)
