The main two things I like about start menus is that it keeps all your apps out of the way, and in some resemblence of organizatoin, instead of just barfing them all out in one big cluttered mess, which is part of what turns me away from Apple, or Gnome. However, they’re not as easy to use on touchscreens. That said, ads deeply nerf this advantage.

I feel like they missed a perfect opportunity, though it may just be the most 2000s thing ever.

Are you using a sledgehammer to drag your cauldron like in the Getting Over It game?
