    This also applies to software. “we’ve clean up our UI and stuffed every tool you use every day into menus and submenus! Now all your favourite tools are 1-2 extra clicks away. But look at all this white space!”

      ‘How do I do…’
      ‘Keyboard Shortcut’
      ‘Okay and how d…’
      ‘Keyboard Shortcut’
      ‘And how…’
      ‘KEYBOARD SHORTCUT’.

      ‘How do I access this view?’
      ‘You just grab this random window boarder and drag it to out, wtf?’
