Good design will make or break our product; while we're doing a lot of cool things, simplicity is key. I myself use a Mac, and had a NeXT machine oh-so-many years ago, and agree that design is a key differentiator. The question isn't whether the designer is a key person we need, but rather whether joining six months after everyone else entitles her (or everyone) to the "founder" title.
