more buttons in the future again?

Another problem with screens (and I have had this happen a number of times) is, if your finger is on or near the screen and the vehicle hits a bump or jitters a little, your finger can end up hitting the wrong icon inadvertently and activating something you don't want. That is much less likely to happen with buttons that you have to actually push, although I agree with Steve that some buttons can be very flimsy or poorly-designed.

Depends on how well the controller is designed. Lexus, for example, used a mouse-type controller for years that almost no one liked. If your finger could accidentally hit the wrong icon-symbol on the touch-screen when the vehicle hits a bump, it could also accidentally click the wrong icon on the screen when the vehicle hits a bump with the mouse-controller.

Bumps and hitting the wrong thing was a non issue.
The screen is up high in the dash and that’s the whole point, you can look at the screen briefly without taking your eyes down off the road for as long as a lower screen while you try and find buttons.

I was trying to imagine a mouse cursor moving all over the screen and trying to click something while driving.
Even still, I have to try it to see if I like it.

In a lot of ways it's better than the MMI system in the Audis because you don't need to menu scroll and can instead directly "point" at what you want. The downside is the MMI allows very defined button sequences (for example: car button, three rotational clicks left or right of the main button, then a click to do into the sportiest settings) that can be done blind and near instantly at any speed

GM does it right with the trucks.... redundant back up buttons for virtually everything.
There's nothing I can think of that you have to dig in the screen to use in the Denali, other than setting the vibrating seat for alerts, headlight timer, etc. but all that's on by default anyway.

Totally utterly wrong. You can easily physically index exactly where you hand/fingers are and hit the button without even looking. I can use the center stack in my D4s to adjust anything I want off pure touch and knowing the menu layouts or what button does what.....at 90 through curves.
You can never do that with screens
