I agree with you that programmers are terrible at interface design.
what are you talking about! one look at vi proves otherwise :-)
well, the vi-team surely includes a usability expert ;-) .
vi really is simple to use; the user only needs to learn some simple
commands:
x
i
ESC
:wq
or shift-z-z (much faster)
and last bur not least
:q!
I get a feeling there's supposed to be some irony here, but I don't know what
it is.
I think we're all 100% serious here :-)
(just in case you don't know about vi - it's an editor with interface
that is an absolute heaven if you know how to use it but a total hell
for any novice, I mentioned it as an example of an interface done by
programmers for programmers)
