While I think Stephan came on a little strong, I agree with him that
your discussion style is pretty offensive, and I learned from that that
you obviously don't deal well with criticism.
Just take that line above: you simply *cannot* know that they are
better. You might know that you find them better, but that's it. People
rarely speak "the truth" but state their opinions, no matter how you
decorate them.
In any case: you lose information with the scrollbars, that IMO the real
screen estate that you win really doesn't make up for, no matter if you
actually click on it or not (which I find myself doing pretty often --
and I'm constantly annoyed to have to scroll like forever on smart
phones to get close to the bottom of a page).
I wouldn't mind make them transparent at all to win more space (thanks
to layout spacing, you'll rarely find anything under them, anyway), but
removing them by default on a big screen is just a superfluous and
counterproductive optimization.
Having said all that, I'm looking forward to your first concepts and
ideas. While I like the Haiku look&feel a lot, it surely does not look
very modern.
Bye,
Axel.
