I think it’s important to differentiate between a likable user interface and a good one. A user interface can be likable and bad. It can be good and not likable. I got a comment from my last post that said because someone liked the UI it was good. I disagree...
I have a hundred (ok dozen) finished not quite ready blog posts. Except it’s hard to finish them because I don’t particularly like saying hard things. Negative things. Some of which will be brutal to people I have enormous respect for and consider friends...
