The taskbar being centered actually can make sense if you've ever used an ultrawide, or super ultrawide monitor. I use two vertically stacked 49" monitors but wouldn't keep it centered though; I actually hide it and only show it when I press the Win key, using a bunch of third-party programs that won't work with the rewritten XAML Island-based taskbar.
But making it the default setting is wrong IMO. I feel the new taskbar is clearly an attempt at copying MacOS's awful dock, replete with forced grouping and a small indicator below the icon to show which app is currently running.
- hakfoo 5y agoI could see centering the running-window icons, but the Start button should still be in a corner. This is day 1 UX design stuff-- the corners are effectively infinitely large click targets, ensuring quick and reliable access. The Apple menu has been in a corner since 1984 for a reason.
