Maybe one day the designers will think of a way to automatically pin all your programs in a logical order. And what if you could access them by quickly and imprecisely moving your mouse to a corner, clicking only once and navigating through a tree of folders. Maybe programs could even specify subfolders if necessary. Perhaps it could be integrated with Explorer. Oh wait! I'm thinking of the Start Menu! By the way, let's further destroy any remaining metaphors. The Start Menu shouldn't be connected to the Start button. There should be no indication whether clicking a button does something or surfaces more actions. And let's also force the user to assume the boundaries of a scroll page and make them scroll for no reason. That's my rant, and here's an opinion of mine: It's true some programmers don't care about UI but it's also true that some do. They are the ones most qualified to be designing these sorts of interfaces as there are typically parallels between abstractions in the code and abstractions in the UI. What I see over and over these days, at multiple companies, is a designer/etc. type gets involved, thinks about a concept in a very local context, and comes up with something that looks good there. If they don't trim the fat I'm convinced we're witnessing the death of Windows. But what will replace it?
