Having icons in menus on macOS is a good idea. The problem is that in Tahoe we're seeing a bad execution of it. It has way too many icons, they're rendered in very thin strokes and are all devoid of colour.
Windows had this figured out back in Windows 2000. It had icons in *some* menu items, in a clear and legible style and they had colour.
This meant that in Windows 2000 you could orient yourself in menus based on the presence of icons (they sort of worked like “anchors” for your eyes) and between the icons you had both shape and color to guide your eye.

On the face of it I *really* prefer Astro's focus on strong typing through TypeScript and a lot of reasonable defaults. It makes for a great developer experience.
But between being bought by CloudFlare, people assosciated with the seeming to have problematic views (though this is not uncommon) and apparently using LLMs for the project I've become skeptical of the project and it's quality.
This is making me seriously consider Build Awesome (nee 11ty/Eleventy) for my static site generator needs. It seems like you have to do *quite* a bit of configuration to get it to work as well as Astro does by default.
On the other hand, maybe more explicit configuration is a good thing? Astro is very implicit.
