It must be "clean" is what I've heard, and there's nothing cleaner than a big empty space with one single nondescript icon behind which everything has been carelessly thrown. The burger menu is a great example of this "pattern"
It’s not enough that I see the burger on my iPad with plenty of room, I also sometimes see it on a desktop. God forbid the user be able to do what they want. Google cloud is my favorite example. For some reason they’ve hidden the button that starts the instance - one thing that you actually want to do. But at least the interface is “clean”.
yeah but at least it is also better than those blades you get in microsoft Azure. Now that is a clusterfuck.
The 'beauty' of GCP is that I can effectively use my ipad's browser to manage some stuff on the go, or keep google cloud open in a small browser window on a secondary monitor, with full flexibility and full featureset. On azure, the pages don't always work, or break, and the app has way less functionality.
The best thing would be naturally a design that adapts better to display size than what they currently have, but I would call it badly optimized instead of bad design.
