I'm a "pro" and I really love to have resource usage graphs continuously visible, so I can know at a glance what my computer is doing, why it's taking a while, if something is doing something it shouldn't in the background, or if there's a glaring bug with code I'm writing.
- Joeri 4y agoOn the fanless macs I find it essential to have some kind of cpu indicator in the menu bar. I’ve had it happen multiple times that some rogue process is using a core or two at full burn and the only way I could tell was the SoC temperature spiking.
- kitsunesoba 4y agoAs someone who I'd think constitutes as a "pro" I also like the menubar, simply because it's a searchable index of all the functionality an application offers that can't be IKEA'd away by designers bent on functionality-deleting minimalism. In fact one of my biggest frustrations with Windows and Linux is that a global menubar isn't an option and so one has to live with hamburger menus and convoluted paths to certain dialogs whether they like them or not. KDE on Linux is the exception here, but its global menubar is half useless thanks to all of the hamburger menu afflicted Linux apps, as well as apps that don't surface their menu items to dbus.
