>The fact is, is that if you use your computer professionally and switch to linux, you start to understand what user interface efficiency is. At some point, eye candy becomes a second, third, fourth priority. This doesn't mean the program is any less usable though. I still value presentation. I'll take a nice UI any day over a crappy one, given the interaction is the same. Very true. Before starting my current position, i was a Visual studio die hard.While i still think it's the best single IDE, one thing thing i notice using linux CLI and vim in particular how much faster is it to do thing. And i seem to remember better how to do stuff instead of being lost in menus . I think the current trend in UX is toward making them more intuitive (which i think linux/CLI could read do a be job at), but sadly we are sacrificing efficiency in the process.
