> I also see value of them when it comes to maintaining consistent and intuitive UIs Absolutely. It's like the proper legacy of the GoF's "Design Patterns" book, whose lack of importance and acceptance has bewildered me for close on 30yrs now. Of course, it also means I have rich fields to till for my own work, so bwahaha :-) [Note that the actual design patterns described in their book are not the important part; their understanding that we must implement software using patterns is their most important concept.]
