Hi Adam,

it’s really been a while since the post, but I couldn’t help but keep thinking about the issue. I think there is a point to make about the separation of content and controls in systems, as well as the separation between desktop UI and the web in general. I noted my thoughts in an article:

On the web, maybe buttons should have a hand cursor

Give it a read if you can. Would be really interesting to hear your thoughts!

Best,

Pascal
