They've reinvented the command line.
Yep, just like all those command palette apps like Alfred, Raycast, and inside VS Code.
I'm all for it
Yet they call this the simpler bar, huh?
Command line is the definition of simple. It's not easy, but it is simple: you type a command and it runs the command, that's it. Knowing what commands to run is what makes is it difficult, but the interface is incredibly simple.
I mean.. it would be simpler if it didn't run any commands.
I think the point is that the UI of the bar wasn't really more complicated before. So it's not like the bar itself has really gotten any simpler. Specially if they aren't removing the previous ways to access those functions.
That said, I do like the idea.
