My inner designer supports hamburger menu because they can be designed soooo pretty - just look at all the dribbble shots (actually don't look at dribbble for UX related matters). But, unfortunately, it doesn't work for the user that good!

NotNot only many users don't recognize the hamburger, it also slows down the task completion process.

It's hard to reach
#It's hard to reach HamburgerHamburger menu is usually located on the upper left-hand side, but only 10% of the world population is left-handed (according to Wiki). And as the screens gets bigger, it's getting a lot harder to reach that part of the screen. Which, again, slows down the task completion time.
