Why in the world do you have titles of the taskbar?!
Ungrouped buttons with titles is very efficient for me, too. I grew up with Windows 95 (that was the default behaviour back then) and my brain can handle this really well. I despise grouped buttons I have to hover over to see the actual windows and the icons only mode makes the clickable area too small and annoying to navigate to.
I grew up with that too, but the only time I've had any sort of slowdown from grouped icons is when I've been juggling like 4 excel sheets. I don't often find myself with that many instances of the same program open often enough for it to matter.
It was an adjustment at first back in... Windows 7 I think, but I really haven't missed it since.
Yeah it took me a bit after 7 came out. But having all my excel windows in one group is way more efficent than two excel windows over here, one in the middle, and a 4th way off at the end of all my windows.
Coz there are multiple windows and I don't want to click and hunt for the one I want
Why wouldn't you? It's faster and more efficient.
You can't tell what the icon does?
If I've got three+ browser instances open the distinction is incredibly useful.
Visibility and accessibility of windows, without the need to expand a group or neutral icon.
I am really wondering this too. Seems like people just love making the user experience harder for themselves because "that's what I grew up with".
