I totally agree with this sentiment. Designer complain about Google still using a Floppy Disk as the basis of their Save icon (because it is outdated and represent a physical parallel)—I think that ought should be creating new paradigms for icon design and the hamburger icon is a prolific and successful example.
To the original author: I don't think it should become the default on desktop, but I am a fan for mobile.
Bonus link: I am reworking my personal site and currently using a hamburger menu WITH the word Menu. Still experimenting for now: http://andy.is/new/
