    you can just type what program you want. It’s not year 2000 anymore.

    Typing the name of the program you want is a 1970s thing.

        Only a bit tongue-in-cheek… :)

        Sometimes typing something is better, sometimes just clicking a button is better. It just depends on… too many things to list.

      Yes ironically desktop environments “revolutionized” computing by not having a way to type what program we want to then, after decades re-introduce that :D

        Yep, because we realized the pointy clicky hand-eye coordination paradigm is often not an improvement.

          Sure, which makes it curious that the previous comment implied that it’s a new thing since 2000 when it’s actually a very old thing.
