My view of the taskbar: use it to launch your apps. Alternate between them using alt+tab, if there are too many, use another desktop and move your similar apps

My view of the taskbar: use it to launch your apps. Alternate between them using alt+tab, if there are too many, use another desktop and move your similar apps there.
In my view, if you're using the taskbar for more than that, you're using your computer in a suboptimal way.
- userbinator 5y agoAre you being sarcastic!? I have over 40 separate buttons in my taskbar right now, which is 3 rows high. I can see all their names and select the one I want with a single glance and click. How else do you propose being able to do that?

- VladimirGolovin 5y agoDragging and dropping a file onto a taskbar app icon is often much faster than 1) opening the app, 2) selecting File > Open from the menu, 3) browsing to the file location, and 4) double-clicking the file.
- mulmen 5y agoI use desktops as workspaces. You know, for work. That means I have the same apps open in multiple workspaces at the same time. A web browser and a terminal in almost all of them. Grouping apps by workspace is like having different rooms for screwdrivers and wrenches.
