It's called the Kebab menu now. I'm a fan of chicken.

Seriously though, I know I'm getting old. But I feel like it's younger designers that didn't grow up using old interfaces. I don't like the switch to this new paradigm where every app has to recreate the wheel with their UX.

Indeed. Most modern UI is awful, hiding options behind opaque menus.

If you make a UI on a desktop, and you are considering a hamburger menu then stop.

How are your users going to figure out how to do anything? A hamburger isn't descriptive.

The best I've seen generally of this paradigm just have their file/edit menus behind the burger. At least then its just one level of indirection.
