> I agree. Hamburger buttons were popularized with smartphones so they are still relatively new.
I have an (admittedly ancient) Android smartphone in my pocket which has dedicated physical menu and back buttons. I don't recall seeing hamburger menus until phone manufacturers started being too cheap to include that menu button.
Now they're everywhere, even (especially) when they're not remotely appropriate. What could be more ridiculous than a touchscreen-oriented menu button in a text editor (looking at you, Gedit) or a VCD waveform viewer (looking at you, GtkWave)?
