I'd kill for tight UIs now. Everything insists on having 15000-mile wide margins, and at most two items visible on an 8K screen.

We are at a point when TUIs from 1990s running in 12" screens with at best a 480x240 resolution display more info than almost anything we have now.

This makes me think about the bizarre UI regressions in macOS in the last few years. I’ve got this giant, beautiful display and somehow it becomes less rather than more useful over time due to the software it’s presenting.
