I agree on the more and more useless progress of web interface design.  The hamburger icon (three-strip icon as you call it) being particularly egregious, akin to the travesty that is the &#x27;start&#x27; button on windows.<p>However, to be fair, Apple designers are very much against this trend as well (not to defend the recent downturn in Apple UX design).<p>I recommend this 2014 WWDC talk on UX[1].  The entire talk is worth watching even for non iOS UX design. but it goes into the problems with hamburger menus specifically at 32 minutes.<p>1: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.apple.com&#x2F;videos&#x2F;play&#x2F;wwdc2014-211&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.apple.com&#x2F;videos&#x2F;play&#x2F;wwdc2014-211&#x2F;</a>
