Responsiveness / latency issues on mobile are literally driving me nuts.

Icons and links that move between the time my brains initiate the chain of events to press on something and the time my finger actually hits the target are causing me so much frustration :( That goes beyond loss of productivity and is literally affecting my mental health.

I'm just happy to hear I'm not the only one.

I wish OS developers stuck to two principles:

* Once an UI element that can be manipulated is displayed, it should not be moved except by the user.

* Interacting with the user should have realtime deadlines.

I'm looking at you, Visual Studio...
