Hamburgers and hieroglyphs: this does not bring joy. Pretty objects: this activates the neurons.
I don't really know what you're trying to say, but my child seems absolutely able to pick up modern UI design, including the hamburger icon and others, and use it very happily and with joy.
Hamburgers and Heiroglyphs are not.
I know at least one person who would pay _very good money_ for a version of Slack that opened channels in separate windows.
The only problem is that it's not free (with unlimited trial, though) and the development seems to have stopped. Still works okay for text chat, though.

For what it's worth, Ripcord[1] can do that (okay, it can open channels in separate tabs that can be moved to separate windows). And it is a native (Qt) application.

It’s amazing to me how much more usable those UIs are. Not to mention how much more performant they’d be than modern Electron garbage.

>we don’t even have native OS X or Windows interfaces anymore Wait you can't just call the respective APIs anymore? I thought the reason people don't use them is not because they aren't available but that 2 different codebases would have to be maintained hence things like Electron.
This is amazing. And, wow, actual separate windows for things! I am constantly frustrated by Slack’s inability to show more than one conversation at a time.
incredible work (really) but this is obviously not a realistic user experience: I can tell what's clickable on the screen easily and things are generally too consistent and simply make too much sense I mean, neat concept, but really lacking in the user hostility that today's users demand
Stimulates a bit of an impulse I had as a teenager and wanting to experience that on my PC, or get into BeOS or QNX, based just on witnessing screenshots and something deeply striking my fancy. Before I got into Linux (which was before I got a Mac in 2006), I used WindowBlinds and LiteStep to do exactly that, and more. I used to really care more about certain trappings of my experience, and I didn't have any actual w…
Qnx was pretty unique. We no longer have any RTOS with a desktop GUI sadly
