Agree! And it's getting even worse with all smartphones.
1. Icons are used far more often on smartphones to save space.
2. You don't have any mouse cursor to hover with and get a tooltip, you are left with the option to gamble and click or never try the button.
The gmail android app is horrible in this sense, "send" is just some weird arrow in the top right corner, i first thought it would open some menu. Fortunately it showed a confirmation dialog first...The rest of the icons aren't much better.
