This as well as &quot;everything needs to be done in JS&quot;, even static pages.<p>Gnome (ongoing dumbification since gnome), Canonical (Unity, although HUD was a nice idea), Microsoft (ribbon, although it has some decent ideas) etc etc.<p>There is room for huge improvements in UI: more search-friendlyness, a way to explain scary buttons in mobile UIs since they don&#x27;t naturally seem to support hover etc etc<p>Dumbifying things, both by assuming your users are useless and cannot learn new features, as well as just plain weird ideas like breaking alt-tab without checking (Unity) or hiding save button in Office behind what looks like a logo (MS ribbon early edition) should hopefully be less important.
