OT: (Google Groups is presenting me with a different
(new?) reply interface which seems to place my post at the top.)
One of my pet peeves is web or UI designers without direct experience in
using the application, and little real competence in user interface, who
decide we need a "richer user experience" and change things that work well
and flexibly, into something that works not nearly so well, nor so flexibly.
I should probably not complain, because just that kind of web designer at a
third-party provider of info to a client for whom I was doing code to scrape
data from a screen gave me continuing employment with "richer user
experiences" once or twice a week until I finally convinced the client to
ask the third-party to give them a download option (after all, they were the
third-party's largest customer for that data).
