Very true about Excel -- it isnt going anywhere >>People make mistakes - like selecting the wrong buttons - and need to clear them sometimes. Include a “Clear Selections” button! And that's what I hate about most software, especially in some critical applications, like applying for Visas (VFS is a serial offender that should be banned from civilised society) -- bad software is so unforgiving, so judgmental, make the smallest mistake and in VFS case, it wipes out all the data you typed and forces you to start again (and sometimes randomly crashes in the middle of typing). At one point I thought it would be easier to just cancel my trip rather than fight the website (and they dont take paper applications anymore , because... technology). The chances of an app being crazy and buggy are directly co-related to how critical it is -- so while the teachers app talked about in the article is well designed, it isnt critical, since teachers can always do the work otherways. Meanwhile VFS and other government mandanted monopolies, for which there are no alternatives, are buggy as hell. Is there an internet law for this effect? If not, I'd like to name one :)
