Current interfaces are generally a lot more simpler than those ones though? Are you saying those elaborate 90s style window menus are somehow simpler than iPad

  > Also, do you realise you attempting an apples to pears comparison? Compare with current-gen GNOME then. > "simpler" == "easier to find the feature you need", not "fewer gui items to click" The tabbed ribbon design of post-07 Microsoft Office apps is a LOT simpler by that definition than the traditional menu based one before it, and so are a lot of modern interfaces across various applications and OS's. Neat tabs and toolbars > oblong menus, anytime.

Not when the menus were 15-20 entires with occasional icons and the ribbon is 50+ icons of various sizes (and hidden functionalities - the little group corner arrows). "Easier" also implies easy visual parsing.
