Also what is intuitive to _you_ might not be intuitive for others. Most
people never grasp that, thinking that their way is the best (I'm not
saying that anyone on plug is like that--we're enlightened :) ).

If you disagree w/ me, check out the old threads on ui on the obos mailing
list. Everyone (including me) wanted to make the ui just like their
favorite os. Everyone (including me) thought that their way was easiest.
