    I heavily disagree with you. People who get annoyed by certain ui changes always will, I still hate YouTube’s new layout multiple years later.

      There are always people getting annoyed by changes, doesn’t matter what the changes are. Sometimes I get the impression that humans just need something to be annoyed about.

          Keeping something that’s difficult to maintain and cannot integrate well with new features isn’t how software works.

            It is absolutely not about difficulty to maintain or feature issues, it 100% comes down to different ways to funnel you where they want you.

            If your software is built well and maintainable, I fail to see how it requires rearranging the entire UI to add features. Windows has kept the “Start menu and taskbar” paradigm for the last 30 years just fine while getting new features. It works. Billions understand it. It it not necessary to change it. They realized this after they tried to push out the silly Windows 8 “Tablet” style UI. Changing the UI just to change it is definitely just somebody out there trying to justify their paycheck.

            If your UI/UX elements have that deep ties with your deeper stack your codebase has big issues.

        Honestly it’s desktop that drives me insane though. I remember I used to have it hard linked to an old hack that used the old layout still, but they took that away a while ago now.
