I really like the idea of building the filters incrementally. This style of user interface is showing up in other tools I use, so I think it will feel familiar. I also believe most people filter on just one thing most of the time, then occasionally go for more complex filters with many criteria. At least that's my pattern of use. > > once the user picks one, that is added to the list and can be populated. > > In the example the user first added 'date' and then 'tags'. > > The tags one shows the idea of having additional options (all/any/none > and > > substr/starts/exact, just like we have today).

I"m not convinced we're a good judge of the average user. For example, the box & wiskers plots are something I deal with at work, so they are very familiar and compact. That said, some of my colleagues look at those things blankly, especially when the distributions are non gaussian. I don't know how to satisfy all, but I think good filtering and simple min/mean/max are already valuable. ...Hartley
