    Bro, clearly you’ve never used the rotating joystick because it’s WAY WAY better than a touchscreen.

    Sure, in the same way that merely having the shit beaten out of you and being left with life-long debilitating injuries is “WAY WAY better” than being murdered. It’s damning with the faintest of praise.

    You know what’s an actually-good interface? Having buttons that do only one thing each so that you don’t have to look at them at all!

    I can fly through menus so fast

    The speed at which you can navigate a menu is entirely beside the point. Having menus exist in the first place is the kind of shit that belongs on one of those “they have played us for absolute fools” memes, except unironically. User interfaces designed to be used while driving simply shouldn’t be modal!

    Car UIs peaked in the '90s and have been getting more and more unsafe ever since.
