Is Simple Software Always Better?
,----[ Quote ]
| On the opposite end of the spectrum, some software is built to be
| so simple and elegant that you wonder if the developers only created
| it so that it could be entered into a beauty pageant. All beauty and
| no brains isn't a good combination either, but even with that said,
| this is the development style that some OS X developers have fallen
| into. Their applications may animate a certain action beautifully,
| which is cool, but does the software actually do what it needs to
| do? Are you sacrificing functionality for looks? Does the program
| really add anything new, or is it the same old thing with an
| extreme makeover? The truth of the matter is that looks will only
| get you so far. You may be able to initially draw some eyeballs
| your way, but once the novelty wears off, what do you have to show
| for yourself? If you leave your users wanting more, then they may
| even switch over to the "old-fashioned" applications that may not
| look very pretty, and they may have a lot going on, but at least
| they can get the job done.
