I feel like these particular examples don’t convince me.
The new GitHub UI seems better to me. It looks nicer. I like looking at things that look nice. And I think it’s obvious that you’re supposed to type in there.
Same deal with X. The interface is so simple, I’m not sure how you don’t understand that you’re supposed to type there. They’re using minimalism for an interface that was already minimalist, it seems like that makes sense.
