I get more and more irritated by how non factual the whole IT scene is.
Why does it boils down to opinion ?
A good rule of thumb: if you can't notice and click on the button
immediately while drunk, it is not big and obvious enough.
The proposed design is better that what we have now, but it is still
clumsy. There are box into box, and way too much infos.
It is not opinion, it is what works. If one is of different opinion,
there is an easy way to settle: do an A/B test and settle. I can tell
you, on that one the result that would come out of this are fairly obvious.
What "works" means is still debatable. Is it a goal to get users to the
download quickly, or are other things equally or more important?
Also, we don't really have the resources to do studies on these things,
do we? So when you say that it's obviously this way and someone else
says it's obviously that way, we're back to opinions.
Also, to reiterate, a more noticeable download button is not off the
table. I pulled back all style changes in that PR to focus on the
functionality first (which I kinda gave up on by now, too, because it
turned out to be more difficult than I had hoped).
