I have noticed a commonality between systems that are unintuitive to use like git and CSS: they didn't sufficiently mimic nature, or common everyday concepts.

I have noticed a commonality between systems that are unintuitive to use like git and CSS: they didn't sufficiently mimic nature, or common everyday concepts. Say you design a new relational DB. You want all the postgres and SQL people to switch so you adopt SQL as the querying language. Your DB becomes so popular that it eventually gains +80% market share. Many people now have to learn SQL as their first querying language and now you've created another git. Another scenario is a system being appropriated for something else like CSS was (?). Copying your competitors is simply not a guarantee that your system will stand the test of time. The only constant is nature.
