I think of all the UI “innovations” of late, the ubiquitous and not-very-tasty hamburger menu button is the one I loathe the most.

Fine, use it on a cell phone UI where the screen is tiny and space is at a premium.

But get it the hell off of my desktop machine.

I have all that space on my 30” monitor for a reason – to have the best blend of chrome and UI affordances that I can.

Not everything needs to be crammed into one menu. Not every button needs to be combined with another button.

In most programs these days it takes me 5-10 clicks to be able to do what I formerly could achieve in one or two.

Just unacceptable.
