Interface

We assert that:
  • "The 'user interface' for a computer or program should itself be a 'setting'."
What, exactly, does that mean?
  • No individual should be "forced" to "relearn" the software they use without "good reason".
  • Moving "buttons", "menus", or "features" around is "fine" but rarely "necessary".
  • Should an individual "know" Windows 95 or simply "prefer" it, they shouldn't be "required" to "learn" Windows 11 - even if they are "upgraded" or "downgraded" from one to the other.
Seriously, is computer software "modular" or not?

Rhetorical question.

It's still designed backward.
