Very condescending piece. There is no universally best design, it's always the best _for a set of people_. The developer's mistake is that he optimizes for his own kind and designs things such that people who have a clue get an awesome interface. But most people don't have a clue about a very specific piece of software. Therefore it's likely that they optimized for the wrong kind of people. That is the true reason. I myself just accepted that there's stuff that I love and stuff that the majority loves and most of the time the design choices are completely opposite, so I just settle for their 'best'.
