Small unrelated comment: I love how that menu works. It does a really great job as an alternative for the hamburger menu.

Well, to me, it's still mystery meat navigation. Why do we need this on desktop sites?

Completely agree. There is absolutely nothing gained by collapsing that sidebar on a desktop.

Agree +1. Icons only and tooltips when hovering make more senses to me. Or at least the main contents shouldn't shift when I hover the sidebars

Yes; I can't stand the approach of hiding meaning especially on a Desktop website. Horizontal navigation at the top for the win!
