Interface Obsession Syndrome

,----[ Quote ]
| Who has Interface Obsession Syndrome? The computing world, that's who. All of 
| it: designers, users, open source software, proprietary software, web 
| designers, web surfers. Everybody. It's a disease.  
| 
| Last post, I boldly proclaimed (using my proclaiming voice, which makes the 
| font bold and a size larger), "There is not a single thing wrong with a 
| single FOSS program's user interface, anywhere, period."

Just developing something without hiding the source code does not mean that
user awareness is missing. Code visibility has nothing to do with user
experience.
