My biggest pet-peeve is the hamburger icon instead of the world 'Menu'. You are saving 10px... for what!?

- fuzzfactor 6y agoIn 1995 you needed to save 10px, they're just not as advanced any more.
- kangalioo 6y ago> For what?! I can think of several things: - more breath space in the UI - easier recognizability - less information overload (four character glyphs vs three plain lines) - consistency with other applications And it's not like the hamburger menu symbol is particularly obscure.
- flukus 6y agoIn defense of the hamburger menu, it's singular, nearly universal and well understood, I can deal with that just fine. This is very different from rows of icons in something like word where there's a huge array of functionality hidden behind obscure hieroglyphs.
