Wow. You are clearly new to the Internet. I pray you never discover Slashdot. > If you debug a lot, I'm quite sure you will learn your way around the > new UI in half a day. I know my way around the Eclipse Preferences dialog. That doesn't mean it's not a horrendous clusterfuck, and it doesn't mean I'm *productive* with it. It just means I know how I can approximate what I want after 10-20 minutes of fiddling. > If you keep clicking on the wrong button, and > exit firebug instead of hiding it, then pay attention to what you're > doing. Maybe you'll learn something. Ah, yes. The familiar refrain of lazy designers from time immemorial. It's the user's fault for not paying attention, not the designer's fault for a bad design. Users should alter their behavior to conform to the design, not vice versa. Etc., etc. If users keep clicking the wrong thing, it's in the wrong place. Period. > If you don't like the icons, who > gives a fuck? It's an icon. I mean really, how important is it if the > inspect icon is a flashlight or a speculum? Design is important. Bad design is the reason people hate technology. Good design (plus marketing) is the reason people pay a steep markup for an iPhone. Also, bad design turns people off of the product. Given the overall awesomeness level of Firebug, it's almost criminal to let poorly chosen icons get in the way. > Get over it. Quit wasting > my time, (*psst* ... how do we break it to him?

If you think we're all objecting to change just because it's different, you're not paying attention. I'm generally pretty cool with change. Hell, Google has played with my e-mail interface a number of times, and it's never really bugged me. Apple decided that "Quit" should now be in a special application menu next to File, and it tripped me up a few times. But since the change *made sense,* I happily adjusted. > Frankly, I've just about quit reading > the firebug group because the signal to noise ratio has gone > microscopic. Quit complaining and get back to work. Where do you think ad-hominem tirades against "whiners" fit on the signal/noise axis? > If you can't manage to deal with a few changes in your debugger, then > I don't certainly don't want to be depending on any software you're > writing. Erm, yeah. Detail-oriented people who advocate for improvements make for such terrible software, what with their desire to polish and their unwillingness to settle for less. > If you don't like it, go use IE8. It has a debugger now. Careful what you wish for. That's the sort of attitude that can make for a very small (but very pure and unwhiny!) community. - Luke --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
