Definitely agree on your assessment. I started questioning this guy's advice after his bit on button spacing. Having the words in a button "balanced" within the button does not make it any more of less useful.
Intuitive, functional, and pretty aren't always the same thing. Having a pretty interface doesn't make it inherently usable.
- derefr 18y agoThe button tip makes sense if you align the button to other text. Then, the baseline of the text in the button should be aligned to the baseline of the text outside it (if both texts are of the same font-size.) If buttons center their text vertically, and themselves are centered with respect to the half-height of the smaller characters, this can misalign the text within them; playing with vertical padding can help with this.
