> "because simplicity" And a very flawed interpretation of "simplicity" btw. What is the point of creating an interface containing the bare minimum of buttons if that will lead users to spend more time to perform what they need? Just like that Apple's "one-button" remote? What is the point of employing fancy graphical diagraming technics to layout widgets if the resulting layout impairs users? I'm ok about sb designing an interface without talking to users if and only if the designer is being assisted by/responds to sb who has already been on the future users shoes, or have previous similar experience. The prevalence of this theoretical, taste and opinion-based ideas about how interfaces should be designed must stop.
