Just because I don't post on this list constantly with me me me concerns doesn't mean I'm new either to this list or to del. They aren't hidden at the bottom.. They aren't under hidden div's... How exactly aren't they better? Should they be two inches closer to your eyes?
knowing what del offers is a lot like learning what any site or software offers. You click things, See what happens and make a link in your brain accordingly. If the layout is soo horribly confusing why not ask for an AJAX solution that will let you stick whatever link wherever you want it. I for one think it's an improvement. Saying that "the link isn't in this corner or over here" is like saying that your too lazy to move your mouse to the link. Seriously a computer screen isn't that big of a space. It's clean, It hasn't cluttered up the page with crap that you don't need to see. If I act like I'm a more knowledgable user than you... Maybe I am. I've learned most of what I know about computers by clicking things, or messing up crap and then fixing it for myself. If YOU want del to look and act exactly how YOU want it... Use firefox and download a couple of plugins, including greasemonkey amongst others. The sites you look at can be arranged and look how you want them to. No, really they can. The designers of the site are working for a well designed site that works for the majority of people, They aren't specifically trying to please you... Crazy thing is... It pleases me. Apperently I'm easy to please when it comes to good design.

Well, to tie this to another discussion, I'd like to understand why
people perceive del as hard to use and confusing. Why do some users
take it in stride yet others become overwhelmed? It seems so simple
once you get into it.
Fidel mentions "if you know what del.icio.us offers." is that some
kind of trick to kicking someone from a novice to an expert user? Is
there a way to facilitate this? Or maybe that's not the problem at
all.
how to prevent a luser/priesthood type of service?
