Good usability does not mean we aim for the lowest possible denominator, it means we find the most usable possibility. in the current icon mode of layout, simply switching to single clicking is going to make other functions impossible, not easier. my point was simple that it creates many other problems that would have to be thought through, we can't just switch it and think we're good to go.
