As far as I know, yes - but those are just broad article filters for the main page, it doesn't affect any of the rest of the site.
If you open the "Articles" menu, and look under "Chapters and Sections" you will start to see why the main page tabs have to be broad - there are far, far too many categories for it to be in any way useful to have separate tabs for each. And that's without the dedicated forums: Discussion Boards[^] or the wide-open-for-any-technical-subject Quick answers: Quick Answers[^] where you can apply another huge range of subject filters.

Nuget Manager UI in Visual Studio 2015 and prior has always been ugly.
But I finally got accustomed to the ugly. I knew where things were.
Of course, VStudio 2017 changes it ___again___!!!
Plus the UI is so gigantic you have to maximize the screen to see otherwise hidden elements, like the button to [Install] the pkg.
MS has the genius devs making millions $$$, right?
But I guess they don't hire Human Factors, UX, UI design people at all.

Nope. They have their AI designing and coding now. 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

I believe it. The Nuget UI makes no sense to humans. Only robots who do not have to look at it.

You really are right, of course.
Have you ever used the new IIS Manager(InetMgr) Server 2012 R2 tool?
Especially the Configuration Manager?
It is a terrible interface. It's so terrible, it feels malicious. As if they attempted to convince you not to use it.
If you attempt to alter data down in the config -- nested data -- you have to keep clicking these ellipses which popup more windows. You can easily get 8 popup windows deep. terrrible!!!

Sounds like the marketing spiel for Windows 8 
I do wonder if the plan is to make things like IIS so bad to manage that we give up and hand it all over to Azure.. 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

True. But some of them took a wrong turn somewhere on the road and landed at Apple.

Sure, but I have been a bit more careful lately and bring up only one sort of fanboi against me at a time.

The NuGet package manager is pretty much the same in VS2017 as it was in VS2015. It was VS2013 that had the tiny modal dialog, instead of the docked window.

Shouldn't be. That thing is cool. Not sure what I would do with it, but still really cool.
