I've seen some apps recently move to only having icons and no text label. I think Paint in Windows 11 is an example. I really dislike this as for an app I'm not using every day it takes me extra time to decipher the icon. And on desktops where screens keep getting larger I have the extra real estate for the app to be clearer.
This is connected to another UX trend I don't understand of dumbing down interfaces because too many options are "too distracting." Probably not the best forum to ask this but has anyone ever stopped using an app because they got distracted by the menu?
