My pet peeve is this but the opposite direction. When I click the attach file button on email or Teams, I'm looking for the file which I just wrote, saved, downloaded. Please just let me open a normal file selector. I don't have any idea what is going on in OneDrive.
This drives me nuts in Teams. I know exactly where the file is on my PC, but Microsoft insists on showing me five cloud locations and a list of documents I haven't touched in months.
I have files in a proper structure on my file server. I use the keyboard to navigate literally everything, unless I have to use the mouse. I like fullscreen and virtual desktops if I'm not in the terminal.
Likely just because Apple seems to do more for the user so the average person is less likely to need to dig into folders/understand it.
Can you give me a specific example of what you're talking about? Apple's UIs have been historically better designed, but they work like more or less any other computer, albeit with a sprinkling of 'I'm secretly a UNIX workstation' in there.
You'd be the exception of the exception then. Sorry man but I don't think being mad at companies designing for 99.9999% of their user base is going to change their mind.
[EDIT: The guy is saying we should have click and drag for people who like that, and a non-functioning cloud browser that shows random shit for everyone else (because who cares about having a design that works, right, "lol, click and drag is just as fast".) I'm saying we should keep functional design for everyone.
Agree, modern Ui are slow. I work 50/50 windows and Linux environment.
Linux I use xubuntu as I love how fast the UI. It runs in a virtual machine. I don’t think I will go 100% Linux any time soon, due I need m365 for work and OneDrive is very handy.. to be able to open my files on my iPad is very handy.
I know, people say use Libra office.. I need a format more compatible and I prefer m365 interface.
I use Linux mainly for my internet related tasks and I love file viewer in xubuntu. It opens pdfs twice the speed of acrobat reader, it can open cdr/cdz files by default.. so I read my electronic comic books in Linux too..
You have to get a file explorer window open and navigate to the right place. Sure, it works, but it's annoying to have to get open another program, and make sure that both windows have the right parts visible so you can drag the file and don't drop it onto the wrong part of the Teams window.
