with that kind of attitude a lot of the stuff i see in the openoffice
'user experience' makes a lot more sense
I forgot to include the trivial example.
Add 1 000 colours to the colour palette of OOo, using the GUI.
Add 1 000 colours to the colour palette of OOo, by editing the raw file.
Which one takes less time?
Which one is easier to do?
I know which option I use, when I create new OOo colour palettes.
To create my 16^8 colour palette for OOo, I cheated, by writing a
python script to generate it for me.
As I said, that is the trivial example, that clearly demonstrates the
unproductive nature of a GUI.
