I just accidentally clicked the “clear all” on the browser URL and wished that it was a bit harder to click but was still there. If it took three clicks to make happen, its still useful in most circumstances but would drastically drop the mistaken clicks
Anyway, what are your unpopular UI opinions?
I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion. I’ve basically lived in the command line for more than two decades, and even I prefer UIs for certain tasks:
If I’m cropping a single image, I’m firing up Gimp, Preview, Paint or whatever tool is already installed. If I’m cropping 30 images in the same way, I rediscover how imagemagick works and script it.
It’s all about what’s faster and easier to get the job done, and whether a UI or the command line is preferable depends on how often I do the task (which determines if I remember how the CLI works) and how repetitive the task is (which determines if I want to script it).
What really grinds my gears, though, is how many people prefer a pretty UI over a functioning UI.
