In my experience, when people say, "I don't get" something, what they usually mean is, "I don't want to get" that something. The author does not want to understand why people are pushing back; they just want people to stop pushing back.
Note that I include myself in "people." I have done this myself and recognized it upon reflection (not with the JetBrains UI, but in other situations).
- jnsaff2 4y agoSure, but the "I don't want to get something" comes from: "my system works for me, I don't need a change, it's being imposed on me". Change that is evolutionary can be good, that little tweak that REMOVES pain that you maybe don't even notice but feel better. There also can be change that is imposed by either product managers who have run out of ideas and need to anything to stay relevant or also by designers who don't use the product themselves but find lets say large padding to be aesthetically pleasing. For them the disruption is not felt, the information density is not lost. It looks good on a powerpoint slide.
