Developers adopting mobile toolkits (libadwaita) for desktop apps are degrading the Linux experience
- less information density
- wasted space
- phone tier UX
- optimized for touch screens
- lacks depth
Lazy convergence that ignores how people actually use desktops
I haven't used the app yet, but from the screenshots it appears to follow the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines [1].
You may disagree with said guidelines, of course, but the author can't reasonably be criticised for following the platform standards.
