PROGRAMMING : how much to UI's suck?
Lots.
And that's not just my opinion - checkout Allan Cooper and Jef Raskin's books which I have just finished reading. Having been a mac user I have always felt that there must be a better way. I just want to work, I don't want to frig around with all this other crap.
These books have been inspiring enough for me that I am, once I've finished holidays, going to start working in this field. May have to do some training first, or maybe do a master/PHd in the subject, but that's the area I'm interested in, so that's the area I'm going to work in.

It's all a bit of a waste of time IMHO. why don't we just design UI to work on thought patterns picked up via a headband? bluetooth it to the box, and you're mobile anywhere in the house/street/city. that's a thought - no more PCs, just citywide SANs, with bluetooth(or eqv) stations on every lamppost, with these thought head bands. imagine the security and hacking issues...
hope all's well, Mark
