In the last 30+ years, I think we can all agree that computers have become exponentially more powerful, but the way we control them (QWERTY keyboard and a mouse) has stayed the same.

Therefore, I would argue this has left us with a mess of large on-screen menus, awkward keyboard shortcuts and in many cases, no choice but to move our hands between typing commands on the keyboard and clicking with the mouse.

So my question to you, dear HN reader, is whether you think this is a legitimate problem, or whether there are counter arguments, for example, our user interfaces are designed more efficiently nowadays.

Looking to the development of the Apple Touch Bar, I would say big companies believe this is a problem, but then again, Apple typically go for very minimalist 60% keyboards so it's not clear-cut.

Let me know your thoughts!
