I just transitioned my sites, and I really dislike the reflow and mobilification of the websites. Makes it much less useful, especially on smaller screens. Stuff (like side bar info) is hidden away behind hamburger menu buttons instead of immediately visible in a compact format.
This mobilification is a fad, and like many fads it will, too, disappear and have to be replaced (requiring many work hours) because ultimately it’s less usable especially for largely static content. There’s no option to keep a similar look and feel. “Mobile first” has been forced upon us and is now, with reflow, “mobile only.” Imagine if Arxiv required PDFs to be replaced by mobilified versions? So annoying and impractical.
Really disappointed. Google made a bunch of work for themselves just to reduce the usability of older web pages.
