If it ain't user friendly, or continually demands I walk on eggs so I don't upset her pretty little head ... I don't want it.
Hahaha! Reminds of a poster I saw once:
It’s interesting how “user-friendly” works and it applies to just about anything that is produced be it operating systems or cars. Users basically see user friendliness in a product as “smart” whereas products that are unnecessarily difficult to use are “dumb.”
Now the engineers creating any of these products may be the smartest guys in the world. What user-friendly products usually means is the COMPANY is smart. Smart enough to know that engineering smarts and acrobatics isn’t enough. They know that developing a concept or a product that does amazing things is only step one.
Smart companies focus their smart engineers on the second step also: making it simple and easy to use and maintain. It requires the engineer to put himself in the shoes of the average Joe and making it easy for him. That is one reason Hewlett-Packard became one of the most successful companies in the world. Their printers, among other things, are so simple and easy to use and maintain - that is a result of painstaking and deliberate efforts on HP’s part to make them as easy to use as possible.
There’s too many companies that are wrapped around how great they think they are and no enough who realize they are only as good as the customer thinks they are. And that comes from not only functionality and reliability, but the deliberate goal of making it easy of use. “The customer is always right” isn’t just a nice saying, it really is true.
