It's an iconic representation of a list or menu. You learn it once, and it works everywhere. And it fits on a small screen.

- Angostura 5y ago'You learn it once' is doing quite a lot of work there. I tend to use a hamburger labeled with 'Menu'
- josho 5y agoI encourage you to go watch a novice computer user. After seeing them struggle I suspect you'll change your mind. I personally view the hamburger menu similar to my junk drawer at home. It's where the designer stuffs crap that isn't very important. So, it's the last place I look for when I need to get something done in an app.
- gbear605 5y agoJust this week I was on three different customer calls where I had to explain to a relatively technical user (they use our website on a daily basis for their job) what the hamburger menu in Chrome was. None of them understood that it was a thing that they could click on to get to other options. It's just not intuitive.
