I think the most annoying thing about responsive is how bloody manual it all is.
Small, medium, large font sizes. Different widths, heights and all that jazz.
Cant 100% vh or vw just recalculate based on screen elements?

But what would be the implications? Every time some of those dynamic elements appear, everything based on the view port dimensions would also change in size. There are certainly cases where this is exactly what you want but I guess more commonly you would not want to have things change.
There is a real difference between changing the size of your browser window where you want things to adapt and temporarily showing some additional user interface where you do not want everything to move around immediately. This seems actually to suggest that those dynamic elements should be overlays and not change the view port size, but I guess only if one focuses on this single issue. If done as overlays, then you could never see the very top or bottom of a page while those dynamic elements are visible which is not good eitehr.
