> I don't buy that there is "good" GUI design in any absolute sense. "intuitive" is thrown around with too little thought in GUI discussion even though it is ambiguous. Long ago, in the primitive time of the 1980s, people actually did studies to show what worked and what didn't in GUI design. Almost all the lessons learned from those studies have been thrown away and replaced by... I don't even know. Gut feeling? Ease of implementation? Prettiness? Certainly not usability studies.
