@nickheer also, why are so many desktop applications just poorly designed websites in a bloated trenchcoat?

@nickheer I like the option to do either, but must admit that I was delighted yesterday to discover that Shortcuts lets you open the editor in tabs on macOS.

Especially bad with instant messaging clients. We used to have this — a separate window with contact/conversation list and another one with conversations themselves so you could have multiple open at a time and quickly switch between them instead of hunting in the list every time. Everything else (profiles, settings, etc) also opens in separate windows. Nothing is modal unless it really has to be. These days, everything is modal. Profiles are modal, settings are modal, sending media files is modal. There are a few exceptions, for example, recent versions of Telegram Desktop let you open some things in separate windows using cmd+click, but still, compared to what we used to have, downgrade would be an understatement.

As to the "why", designers have spent so much time designing mobile apps and websites that they've collectively forgotten how to do desktop.

@nickheer browsers and other apps adding their own internal windowing system makes me feel like I’m going insane.
