> like architecture, cooking or construction. Get a backscenes tour at Disney or go trespass employee-only doors at any shopping mall and you will see what it looks like. Only stuff that is made for consumers gets dressed up nicely. If you want something that is easy to maintain and change to suit your needs, then you probably aren't going to break out the fancy paint and trim. >Where did this preference for plain text at the expense of all else come from anyway? Because it is the swiss army knife of formats and I can do literally anything with it. Your use of 'at the expense of all else' is pretty amusing here, since using a fancier format is going to come at the expense of eschewing other possibilities not supported by that format. Another thing to consider is the overall speed of the interface. I'm currently shacked up at an insurance company, and if I go downstairs I will see people speedrunning paperwork in an IBM terminal. The company has definitely tried to modernize this interface to make it more approachable, but every layer of paint adds latency and the workers error rate goes up due to the imprecision of it all. The only way this process is gonna get changed is if they manage to put a hands-free automation on it. Even though clock speeds are up, modern UI practices are unbearably slow once you get used to how fast things used to be.
