All kinds of great ergonomic UI design principles were forgotten overnight when the web hit. It feels like lost magic from an ancient forgotten empire. There was a time in the ancient misty past when we thought about computing from the perspective of cohesion, reducing cognitive load, and helping users create things.

Linux is arguably better than Windows these days in some ways.
