I think that statement can often be taken in good and bad ways, depending on the devs.
Some software I love and use is developed by people who do not care what their users think because they are their own users. They build for themselves and produce excellent results.
Some developers listen to users too much, and end up allowing every piece of their software to be configurable. Even if a very small percentage of users actually needs that configurability. They then lose focus on simplicity and elegance that the majority of their users were attracted to in the first place.
Of course, it goes the other way as well and many pieces of software are better due to user feedback.
- Bjartr 13y ago"listen to the users" does not actually mean "change the software the way the users say to" it means to listen to how they're failing to achieve the results they are trying for and use that knowledge to improve the software. Listening to users does not preclude sticking to UI conventions and such since your users are unlikely to be software or UI designers themselves.
