Which would be fine if the new method was a useful way of discovering information. But it isn't - you have to back thread too many times because all too often when searching for things you don't know you take the wrong path. Ii tried to look something up yesterday and it was a truly horrible experience.

All web design these days is focused on mobile devices and the way the
young perceive them.

They don't want a lot of info crammed on a screen. They want a nested path
that works in a familiar way.

Hamburger menu for "everything". Tic-tac-toe menu for "apps". Poke and nest
down till you find what you want. No manuals. No help screens. Just
navigate till you find what you want.

35 years ago it was us laughing at the office folks who didn't get using a
mouse.

Now the kids are laughing at us!

I really don't understand how designers think. What's the point in wasting
so much screen space with just nothing? What has happened to list views,
