We use too many damn modals (2018) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23645447 - June 2020 (120 comments)
I find that page incredibly hard to read. I cannot fathom why someone would lecture others about UI/UX and do it using that as the UI/UX.
Are modals/dialogs perfect? Absolutely not but completely eschewing them is also a mistake. In all things, moderation.
That would explain a lot of the design in VS code, which seems to take all those suggestions by heart.
It's of course horrible.
very ironic that this website made to lecture webdevs is hideous, inaccessible, and borderline unusable
> hideous
That's just, like, your opinion, man. I disagree. Don't imagine yourself as the universal subject.
> inaccessible
I have no trouble whatsoever navigating and understanding the page with VoiceOver, and it obviously passes contrast and color rules for readability.
> and borderline unusable
Completely disagree. It's literally arranged text on a page. There's nothing to "use".
