Still I suspect people are applying this out of context:
When people are designing business applications, ecommerce software etc using ideas from Google and Twitter, companies that are trying to eke out the last percent of usability, and in the process destroys their product for everyone else I don't think it is smart.
Case in point: Google has lost me and I guess a number of other engineers as users and evangelists because their software just doesn't cut it anymore after 10 yeas of dumbification as it now too often refuses to respect even double quotes and verbatim setting.

- eitland 7y agoGiven how many Googlers are here on the forums I assume Google is well aware of the problem and we are just collateral in the quest to make Google usable for cats and dogs ;-)
