I'm not sure why, but I'm in that camp too. I can only assume that there is some piece of shared past computer system experience I don't share with the hamburger menu people.
That icon has just never really been associated with 'menu' for me, so my eyesight just glides over it as if it's not there, and it just doesn't register as a UI component. (And that vertical ellipsis is even worse, doubly so if it repeated in multiple locations within a UI.
- ralabaster 6y agoYour eyesight glides over it as if it’s not there? Oddly enough, that seems perfect from an uncluttered-design standpoint. Can you still find menus when they’re hidden behind invisible hamburgers, perhaps by association with the top of the page?
- ASalazarMX 6y agoConversely, the hamburger menu always meant "menu" for me, it strongly reminded me of a menu list, and it was the first thing I clicked/tapped when looking for options. Never understood the hate for it, even calling it "hamburger" feels like a straw man argument.
