I was, in the comment you responded to!
I'm saying that phone-centric UI paradigms completely dominate in the modern world. And by extension, arguments like the linked article dancing on pins over minutiae of the menu bar, are missing the point. Good User Interface design in the coming decades simply is not going to use menu bars, it's not. It exists for dinosaurs like us, not the coming generation of tool users who will be directing AI or whatever and not digging through text.
- jaffa2 10mo agointeresting take. I don't buy it though. But I guess we need to wait and see. Apple has long been rumoured to be on the path to merging IOS and mac OS (whatever that means) . MS already tried it and failed. I for one, usually avoid using phone apps and tend to use websites (for example) instead since the phone apps usually have arbitrary limitations enforced by piss poor UI. The most obvious and egregious example is the number of apps that don't let you open more than one view - e.g. Amazon. I can't look at 2 products in amazon app at the same time. It's just horrendous. The next obvious one is Youtube -- The app is just terrible. Using a browser is a better experience in every way.
