If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Yeah, why not?
I watched this talk just yesterday. Really interesting and thoughtful design ideas. For anyone who might be disagreeing with the idea on the basis of the title alone, he recognises that the desktop experience has changed since displays have become larger and Microsoft and Apple are no longer innovating. I think this might be why we’ve found tiling window managers (for example) to be more functional in recent years.
Something similar to the tiling model also dominates on small screens, like phones.
And while I’ve used tiling WMs on Linux for well over a decade (probably nearing two), it does seem that plenty of people will prefer the familiar over trying something new, c.f. Win8’s reception (I’ve never used it myself)
I don’t know about that guy, but I sure plan to.
Changing what people are used to would result in even fewer people being willing to switch over from Windows and macOS.
