This is fascinating. I've long thought we needed some ground-up thinking in this area. But I now wonder if it's also why stripped-out UIs like GNOME are favoured by so many folks in (e.g.) the Linux space... which is famously full of neurodivergent people. 15min to pick a filename?! Really? But I've seen SO MANY desktops like the pics in that blog. This made me think in different directions. I already knew some users find current models very hard... But that they were this trying for them is news to me. Maybe that's why some folk like working on iPads instead of laptops? What is horribly frustrating & limiting to me, might be their exhilarating liberation from the endless suffering of window, and file and directory, management? Could this be why so many aspie/ADHD-spectrum techies actually like GNOME or tiling window managers & lots of xterms? My favourite non-pointer-driven GUI has for >~30 years been EPOC16 from the Psion 3 series. That could have lessons to teach here. No desktop, and the launcher is also a categorised columnar file manager with automatic grouping. It was an inspired design.
