The taskbar is an outdated (30 years old) concept that should be extinct.

It was created to always allow the user to launch or resume their programs, even when they launch a fullscreen program.

I think it's time to improve workflows. I don't expect Microsoft leads the (proper) way. They are too busy including ads into the taskbar.

    While I partially agree with this with my workflow that resembles GNOME philosophy which started with window managers years ago, even though currently I tailored KDE to my needs, main point here is it depends on the person. If it works for someone then it isn't outdated. Using terminal is even older than taskbar. Is it outdated? Far from it.

    Also Microsoft already tried that with Windows 8. :)
