Javascript-based design is a problem. I'll just be over here building this ridiculous retro machine that has no point cause that's more useful than trying to articulate my position beyond that.
It does it's job extremely well. When you have stuff you don't access all the time, but isn't a setting (The gear icon is clearer for pure settings menus), it's in the hamburger.
If you think the app should do something, and it doesn't, you check the hamburger, or you right click stuff.
What's the alternative? To remove features? To use keyboard shortcuts that are completely invisible unless you look them up? To just spew icons everywhere for rarely used stuff?
