Comment on Ask HN: What do you think about app native vs. portable look-and-feel?parent

I totally get where you’re coming from but for me it’s the predictability that’s key. Hamburger menus are familiar but they’re also not always there. On a traditional native UI you’d always have a menu bar, you’d always have a File and Edit menu. These days you may have a hamburger menu but it also may just be a wrapper for a menu bar. It’s just all a bit……vague I suppose.

Tbh it doesn’t matter really. As I implied in the previous comment, I can’t imagine many people bemoan the fact they can’t press Alt-f to get an illustrative menu drop-down, even if I do.
