I think it is a very good reason. Of course, we can argue about if it
is actually intuitive or not.
ok. but that's only eye candy, no ?
Intuitive has a lot of benefits:
1. easy to learn
2. easy to use correctly
3. easy to spot mistakes
4. makes code look more attractive
5. less intimidating
I once drove a tractor that you stepped on the gas to stop it, and
released the pedal to get it to go. I nearly drove the thing through the
owner's boat. Missed it by about an inch.
On a visit to London, there was a guy in a very circulated pedestrian
area downtown who challenged people to ride a bicycle that had reverted
steering - you'd have to turn the steering to the left to veer right.
He'd challenge people 5 pounds to only ride the bike straight for a few
yards (no need to even pedal, just push it once). He'd demonstrate how
to do it first.
He made $35 only as I ate a pizza watching.
