  • The fricking hamburger menu on desktop applications. I don't care if there's an option to use it or even if it's the default option as long as there's a way to get a traditional menu bar. But when it's the only option the designers can fuck right off. Monopoly and privacy aside, I'll never use Chrome just because I have to use a stupid hamburger menu.

    I completely understand why it's used on mobile devices, and thus I get why it's used for non-mobile devices. People who are used to it from mobile want it on the desktop. Or maybe your vertical screen space is limited and it lets you get back a line of space for other stuff. But it's really just poorly re-creating the menu bar while requiring (at least) an additional click. When there's no good reason for it, it just sucks. Give me an option to use it or not!




  • Mixxx is the only Linux-native DJ software that I know of, but it's still amazing. If it's missing featutes compared with Serato or Recordbox I'm not good enough to miss them yet, and the features it doea have are damn impressive.

    Likewise, Inkscape and Gimp are both great. I know that Gimp takes a lot of heat for not being as "good" as Photoshop, but it's just different. The few times I've tried Photoshop were as painful to me as Gimp seems to be for others. And since I don't need the CMYK functionality that Gimp is missing, I'm happy with Gimp.

    LaTeX has a steep learning curve, but using anything else for documents is like stone knives and bearskins in comparison.
