The first example provided in the article (indeed the first sentence) is “How do I double click?”, and I want to focus on this.
As a kid in the 90s, I just took double clicking as a necessary evil. But after many many opportunities of trying (mostly successfully) to teach it to both the elderly and to kids, I've gradually grown to hate it. It's such a horrible gesture, difficult to perform, complicated to reason about and entirely disconnected from any real-world metaphor.
May double clicking die off and vanish, never to be found again, except for in the annals of bad ideas.
