I read this and I can’t tell if the OP is joking or what. Information Architecture and User Experience Design have dramatically improved application development in the last ten years.
This isn’t to say crappy apps aren’t built. They are. But when time and talent are leveraged properly, good things happen.
- tiborsaas 7y agoI'm also tired of articles that are like: "Here's some bad examples, therefore everything is bad". It's missing the constructive part and probably finds the wrong audience.
- mcswell 7y agoI'm sure people would be happy to provide more bad examples--indeed, they have done just that (and I contributed my own gripes about Adobe Acrobat). I can think of bad UI choices in nearly every application I use. I think one over-arching issue being raised here is the lack of consistency among applications, even on a single platform. But if you don't think everything is bad, perhaps you could provide examples of software with good UIs?
