The general degradation of GUI usability over the past 10-15 years is honestly the most depressing development in computing. It’s a constant fight to keep things halfway usable, and it seems to be getting worse with each major (and sometimes minor) software update.


> the most depressing development in computing

The really depressing thing is that GUI usability regression isn't the most depressing development in modern computing. Allow me to gesture broadly at literally everything.


Yeah, I have to disagree, I wrote this deliberately. I could live much better with the other developments if at least we had intuitive, consistent, efficient, native GUIs.
