Oh, that sounds very much like BS. "non tech saavy" users have been using hierarchies in computers since before Windows 95 (considering people that used MS-DOS as 'tech saavy' users). DOS/Windows folders were presented in a structure; File Explorer presented stuff in a structure manner. Hell, the "my documents" folder was structured... and even Gnome (the epithome of doing simple interfaces) presents folders in a structure manner.
- MortenK 12y agoBecause a UI control exists before Windows 95 doesn't mean it's understood by the majority of users. Also, there is a larger amount of users with minimal software exposure now than ever before, due to tablets and smartphones. If your computing experience is limited to iOS for example, chances are you'll never even have seen a nested tree view control, much less understand the hierarchy behind it. At least just read a minimum on usability and UX, before being so rude as to "call bullshit" based on your own personal opinion.
