That is fantastic. Like others have commented, I can nearly feel the lack of latency, where `Create new file` would open up a small modal with a text box to copy paste/type into.

Or `Clone or download` being immediately obvious as having 2 options, SSH or HTTPS.

I feel like I could show this to a trainee and they would understand each feature in under a few minutes.

I couldn't have imagined thinking that _that_ UI was the golden age of usability...

Please someone tell me the disadvantages?

Same with mobile phones. I can remember the time when I can send a text message with phone in my pocket using just my thumb. You can type send SMS in like 5 seconds.

Today, you swipe, etc etc. takes 3 seconds til you start typing.

I wonder how kids today get away with texting in class, that was like the height of spy craft when you'd be texting a friend in your pocket while pretending to be writing notes on what the teacher was saying.
Fairly sure they just do it and don't try to be sneaky for the most part.
