It seemed to start around the GNOME 3 time when they were "simplifying" apps by removing all useful UI elements and hiding them in a hamburger menu that you couldn't access with the keyboard, ensuring you spent 80% of your time waving the mouse cursor around waiting for submenus to appear.

And since then it has got worse and worse. Thank goodness for Mate!

I don't understand how it could get like this. KDE3.5 and GNOME2 suddenly look amazing compared to the modern UI. Bonkers. It's like they don't try using their computer for a day.
