of course, it took the IT industry ages to standarize on CUA (Common
User Access) menus (IBM-Apple-Microsoft colaboration, later embraced
by Linux as well).

But now everyone thinks menus "must go" so we get Microsoft´s "ribbon"
UI and all that crap.

At least with CUA I knew that app menus were always [F]ile [E]dit
[V]iew... and the like ending with [H]elp now it´s "figure it on your
own"

All because all these new programming kids don´t even know what CUA
was all about, or if they knew, they think it´s "old" and that they
know better.

Oh, the arrogance of the youth.
