better than going into the time machine app / prefpane / whatever, and seeing [use drive WD-BOOK for time machine] on the side, non-modal? so people who don't know what they're doing don't have to click or even see anything?
UI/UX designers do a lot of really stupid stuff in the name of making things "simple" and "easy". Engineers who think they're more of a people person and know some UI/UX probably do it even more. Give up the gimmicks, the ridiculous space between elements. The material design, the flat-aqua design, it's all crap.
I've seen "regular users" fail to use all these things, and need my help find a way through the increasingly hidden and opaque interfaces to what they're trying to do. Usually because things that are supposed to "just work" instead "just don't work" and there's no way to fix it. Except for me. So interfaces designed for me would probably not be a bad idea ;)
