Launch-programs-by-search becoming common is the only significant advance I can think of since the 90s. I've added some keyboard window management to my personal workflow since then but I don't know any non-geeks who do that—hell, most of them don't use launch-by-search either.

Windows had this since at least Win 7, so it's not really a recent advance. I dislike that the the Win 10 start menu is essentially unusable enough that it requires actually doing a search, though, which is why I use a replacement start menu.

Well, nine or ten years after the 90s, anyway, haha.

Ah, yes, my mistake!

Which ironically doesn't work well anymore with Windows 10 because the start menu is often too laggy to open, or because it performs any other kind of unwanted search like web search.
