The end of the Mac spatial Finder with the OS X transition was not entirely welcomed by some people on that basis, but we live in a world that prioritizes thinking in words and looks down on visual/spatial reasoning.
- lproven 1y agoTBH, stuff like Microsoft's "fluent" interface ribbons, and GNOME banishing menu bars and using buttons and hamburger menus, feels like the exact reverse of this to me.
- fidotron 1y agoThe whole point of a spatial finder is it leaves things physically in the same place, which is very definitely not true of the ribbon menus (or their precursor in Office 2000 where menu item visibility was reliant on how often you used them), or anything that tries to hide/reveal things based on assumed intention. Burger menus are just rotated tab bars that can adapt equally badly to mobile and desktop.
- lproven 1y agoGood points. (I hated that O2K feature and so memorised where to go to turn it off.)
