>the fact they skipped working on the UX until now allowed Tarn to implement very difficult crazy features Z-level fortress layers and Fluid Dynamics Not sure how seriously this was meant, but I unironically agree. I learned, while still in college, never to mock up a "working" polished UI lacking all the complex backend, just to show the client how it'll look when it's done. To the non-computerati, the metaphor is a tradesman working on renovations. If you don't make development versions look and feel like crap, the normies won't accept that it's not "almost ready". Tarn's priorities here drive away most people, and filters for the sort of person who thinks "modern graphics library" means "ncurses".
