> An old article hating on trees
https://blog.codinghorror.com/trees-treeviews-and-ui/
I've personally come around to this POV as well, or maybe even more so—I don't even use tree view for browsing source code projects (one of the few use cases the author seems to endorse)
(I do occasionally run `tree`, but that's plenty for me)
@codesections @byllgrim@mastodon.xyz Trees and tag/filter/search/sort are not mutually exclusive, and can even complement each other. When something is a tree, you need to see it as a tree or be blind. There are even naturally occurring trees that are not anyone's design choice, like conversation trees. The author is simply annoyed that some apps don't implement tag/filter/search/sort, the implied dichotomy is just a bait to make the argument seem more important.
