@NegativeK There was a time when *including a search term* made that term mandatory.

So glad that @phpsussex@phpc.social is still going, and realised how much I missed it and should skip other things to make it. Folks, go to your local user groups! I promise you it's not scary!

Oh, also, the Emoji picker.
Who on earth thought horizontally scrolling tabs was a sensible design in a space-constrained popup?
Again, Windows 10 had a much more usable design, which was thrown away rather than iterated on.

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me the biggest "did they run out of time or something?" design is the tiny "All >" button floating in space on the Start menu.
If you replaced the failed "tiles" experiment with normal icons, the Win 10 Start menu was a really good design - good use of 2D space, and quick access to both an alphabetical list and a customisable one.
