Most users don’t need that specificity.
I think most things in browsers got degraded thanks to Google, but also due to that specific way of thinking.
Dude, as someone who works in IT and has to regularly help software developers check their fucking email I can promise you that most people are dumber than you think.
I know. This is not about how dumb users are, it’s about how dumb the software becomes with time.
It has to suit it’s users… Why do you think iphones area so simple?
They are not.
They are.
You said there are too many stupid users, then you said the software has to suit them. I see this as a problem when software targets stupid users because then the rest suffer from it being less convenient for them.
Also I think it’s hilarious how things become more complex for developers who should actually have the power to fork things in order to make them more suitable for advanced users. And apple is a good example of that. I would be a huge iphone fan if it wasn’t a walled garden in software terms.
Advanced users are like 5% of the user base. Why would you cater to them?
Because that leads to the degradation of the software? Or because they provide most of the valid feedback? Or because that would help more users become more advanced?
