1.) There are two schools of thinking, one of which I believe to be
severely
flawed:
IMHO, more than that. :) as there are nuances in between.
A.) Don't worry about the syntax or how it is implemented, the tools
will take care of make it easy.
B.) Don't even think about tools until it can be done and easily
understood by a human. Only then should tools be created.
Of course I strongly believe that "A" is the flaw perspective
although I
know there are many people in that camp, you (it appears) included.
still, it depends on the context. All is a question of context.
The technologies that work are the ones that are designed for
humans first,
with humans with tools second. If it can't be done in Notepad or
VIM, it's
probably a bad idea.
png, jpeg, gif, illustrator files, pdf, videos format?
But you might say that they are difficult formats, so what about
email, usenet, chat messenging, irc. How many of us are editing the
simple headers of emails by hand? :)
It doesn't make your point invalid, it is just that it is not black
and white :) It depends on the context and the way the technology has
been developed, and its level of maturity.
