It's easy to dismiss things. It's much harder to try to imagine the possibilities and build things. Reminds me of _why's quote: "when you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow &#

" Watch how they have memorized all the shortcuts and quirks of their custom line-of-business apps. You'll discover a class of users who want power and control, not simplicity and ease-of-use." Doesn't "quirks" already imply that it's non-o
