Judy Stern commented on MH-6910:
--------------------------------

@Ruben: I think we basically agree. We can't design for everybody: "Common 
sense tells us that we need to create products that can accommodate the needs 
of as many people as possible. That means more people will be able to and want 
to use our product, right? No! In reality, designing a product that works for 
everyone, means it likely will not work for anyone. Since everything on a 
webpage or in a web application competes for users' attention, all the pieces 
that are not relevant to a particular user increase their cognitive load, and 
information overload and overhead. By designing for everyone, everyone ends up 
paying this high price." (from 
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Designing+with+Personas ) But this 
means we have to decide who we *are* designing for. Olaf is "designing" for 
somebody different than you are. The only way to decide who is "right" (whether 
this is described in too low level terms or not) is to figure out who we should 
be designing for. Now, *IF
 *  the primary users could *all* be described as "deeply immersed" and maybe 
even "metadata fanatics" or "file manipulators" then there's nothing wrong with 
surfacing in the UI what they want to see, in the terminology that makes the 
most sense to them. When you have 2 very different types of users, you really 
need to create 2 different UI's, and fortunately, that appears to be what's 
happening (if I read Olaf's comment correctly). Unfortunately, I'm sure this 
kind of thing will continue to happen. p.s. 2 cents is probably worth about the 
same as a grain of sand, so it seems pretty equivalent ;-)
