For example, Photoshop (and sadly, most other programs since) have decided that having every possible feature in front of the user is a good thing, but the resulting migration from to dialogs to palettes has not reduced the number of steps needed to perform most tasks, in some cases making tasks harder because of the smaller target area of palette controls and the lack of a universal way to shift keyboard focus from the document window to a palette. Moreover, reliance on palettes often results in a lot of visual noise and consumes precious screen real estate that distracts from the user's document.
Good illustration, Richard.
Photoshop, Illustrator and Pagemaker, to a lesser extent, are "evolving" into mind-numbing tools: where-the-hell-are-they-hiding-it-now!
I think Photoshop 3.0 was their best design to date.
