I'm not entirely convinced simple is better for enterprise apps. I'm a consultant who has to jump around between a lot of project management tools like Asana, Jira, and Azure devops and the simpler the interfaces make me far more frustrated.
They all have pretty much the same functionality, but some hide functionality for UI's sake. Then anytime I need to do something new, instead of looking around a busy screen, I'm sifting through a bunch of websites I found on google.
- myth2018 6y agoI think simplicity doesn't necessarily mean having less widgets on the screen. If, by removing widgets, those interfaces are making you to perform more steps and to think more to find and execute the functionality you need, then I'd say those interfaces are getting more complex actually. Besides, this is another common mistake in current UX trends, IMO. They seem to assume that interfaces can always be simpler, as if there weren't fundamental bottom limits to complexity; and, to make things even worse, they remove widgets, replace text with icons etc., seeming to believe in a positive correlation between complexity and amount of stuff in the screen
