Interestingly enough, I read your words and remembered a recent set of articles by ESR about usability, UI and geek programmers designing waaay too geek UIs: http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cups-horror.html http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/03/01/1453218&mode=nested I mostly agree with ESR in those articles.
