That is the thing about UI. You have simple users, power users and users familiar with something. To each, what is intuitive is different. Half the battle to designing good UI is to know the target audience. To a Mac user, Windows is less intuitive - to a Windows user, Mac is less intuitive.
If you took a tool like a photo editor or a raw converter and had two potential users - one a graphic artist and the other a photographer - what would be natural and intuitive to each could be different - especially given their previous experiences. -- Bruce Thursday, February 11, 2010, 10:21:12 AM, you wrote: CR> On Feb 10, 2010, at 22:16, Brendan MacRae wrote: >> >> I completely agree about the interface.
