    initial v1  
    33You should know what an icon/button does BEFORE you click it. If I'm using an interface and I don't know what a particular button does, I'm less likely to click it at all, just in case it messes up my work. If I don't know what the icon/button does, how do I know if it's non-destructive?

    56Even though the sizes may be arbitrary, they'd still benefit from having labels like "Mobile view/Tablet view/Desktop view", or something along those lines. They're not device specific and will at least give people an idea of what the icon does.

     8Also, tooltips don't become distracting once you know what an icon/button does. I refer to the Visual Editor again. I don't find the tooltips on any of those buttons annoying and I've been using them for 10+ years. Once you know what an icon does, you simply click it and move on. Your mouse doesn't tend to hover over it. The tooltip will only display for a microsecond.
