  >Interestingly enough it seems that there are more and more UX designers than ever yet the UX of so many applications keeps getting worse. Lets say you have a population of 1,000 people and 1 doctor. Then lets say you increase the amount of doctors to 3, but by that time your population is 5,000. Yea, you have more doctors than ever, but you also have more problems than ever. And we also see in the medical community more people want more treatment for more things. More staff, less time. It is really easy as the end user to say "Oh, I could have made this much more simple for my workflow". But that's the thing, it's your workflow, you have no idea if that's the average users workflow. You have no idea if the 3% of the customers that pay by far the most money have a different workflow. Complexity typically increases and keeps increasing till market saturation occurs. It's very unlikely we're anywhere close in software saturation (hell this could involve near complete replacement of people in most jobs). Competition means even if you want a simple app, another 'simple' app but with more features is apt to out compete you.
