Remember how nice it was to be able to click and drag from almost anywhere along the title bar? We didn’t feel that space was wasted even back when we had only 342 pixels vertically.

@drdrang Oh my goodness that is one of those tiny little cuts that bothers me every day! It seems like an example of Apple having lost institutional memory of the values presented in the early Human Interface Guidelines

@drdrang I kind of feel like nobody at Apple uses multiple windows anymore — maybe Apple can’t hire any programmers who grew up with Macs, and everyone was a Windows user? This is one of the most annoying changes, since it affects me many, many times every day…

@drdrang I’m thinking about this every time I’m trying to drag Edge.

@drdrang I've resorted to enabling "NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture" so you can hold CMD+CTRL and click & drag anywhere in window. So annoying this is almost required now.
