A few days ago Apple pushed an update to my iPad Pro and now I can scribble handwriting into text fields and have it recognize (along with gestures like scribble-out to delete). There was even a nice little tutorial. Delightful. The original vision of the Newton, finally fulfilled!

But yes, it's a pity when mobile designers bring their extreme space stinginess to the desktop. Hamburger menus here, hieroglyphs there, why have buttons with labels when you can have useless empty space? Ugh.
