Interface Design
I most certainly am not kidding, but I wonder if you are, or perhaps you
just like to ignore what I have said for the sport of disagreeing.
I am saying the opposite of what you accuse me of. I am not saying to not
even try different ways of doing things. I am saying that we _should_ try,
or more correctly, allow programmers to easily try different things. I can
assure you that I will not try to force yu into replacing any
system-supplied user interface items with third party ones. What possible
objection can you have to allowing user customization? Are you as arrogant
as Apple to think that the interface you want should be forced upon
everyone?
You can call people who want a particular functionality nerds if you
want. Don't think for a moment that it makes any difference to the matter
though. A lot of those 'nerds' are tired of programs with interfaces that
are unsuitable for no other reason than that the programmer decided for
them exactly how things would be done.
And John… please be aware that I am using file requesters as an example
only. Would you prefer that I mention all possible user interface items in
each and every message?
