I’m not sure I’m proficient at Word. I’ve used word processors for decades, but I stopped using them on a regular basis after college (mid to late 90s). Back then I used Word Perfect. Since then I’ve only needed to use one a few times a year. And never anything more complicated than something like a super simple sign with large letters. I find Word to be complicated when I try to use it. Why are the menus constantly changing? How does anyone find anything when they change so often?
- ogogmad 5y agoComing from the half-broken, arcane user interfaces of the programming world, GUI interfaces like the one Word has are a piece of cake. Even if you haven't used these programs for years -- and have largely missed their repeated UI overhauls -- the interfaces are so discoverable that you can learn the latest iteration of these programs without reading a book or looking anything up. I sometimes suspect that there's a large subset of programmers who are irrationally snobby and elitist towards discoverable UX.
