@shiftkey, when GitHub Desktop is in system tray and not in the taskbar, the application is still running and not clogging the taskbar. It might be useful when you have a lot of open programs - in that case any extra taskbar icon (layout) leads to shrinking the current icons.
Hi @razvan-flavius-panda, thanks for your view. I would caution that the implication that the people you mentioned don’t care about satisfying user needs is insulting as all of these people care deeply about our users and their needs. As I’m sure you can appreciate, working on products, especially in open source, involves having to make decisions that some portion of people will inevitably disagree with no matter what you decide.
We respectfully disagree and have shared our reasoning. We do try to adhere to conventions unless there’s a compelling reason to depart from them, and they can be helpful in making decisions. In this case, the convention seems like a reasonable guide, and we understand that some folks may disagree with that. Hope you continue to enjoy using Desktop in spite of this.
