Slack (canvas and huddles), Circle CI and Bitbucket are also reporting issues due to this.

Same. Clicked around. Was annoyed that a single click on an icon opened the window and not a double click. Used the navigation a bit and left. No idea what they do.

We've only made good experiences with layered architecture (onion architecture in particular, which is quite straight forward). We also never built it with the idea in mind to ever…
