People are complaining because screens have been fucking rectangular since forever! And this change forces klunky software compromises for no good reason.

If they made a triangle of extra screen area jut out on the right, you'd get extra screen space too. I bet people would still defend it not because "it's extra screen" but in reality because it came from Apple.

The fact that people are so willfully ignorant of that is amazing to me. The Apple-think bubble is stronger than I thought.

It makes the screen bigger... thats the reason. The menu bar no longer takes up ANY screen real estate.

They could have just not extended the screen and had a larger bezel. I don't see the issue.
