> Who thought this would be useful in any way to bring this utterly irritating abomination into desktop space? This is what happens when you have corporate funded browsers that employ UI designers. In order for those UI designers to maintain their employment, they must do something, lest the bean counters over in finance ask: "why are we paying them to do nothing?". So they make change for changes sake, in order to ensure their next paycheck arrives on time. Is the change necessary? No. Is the change wanted? No (at least by everyone but them). Does the change add anything useful? No (other than their continued paychecks). If there are UI "designers" employed on the team, they will make changes, to ensure they continue to be employed.
