1) simplicity sells, a ui that is crappier functionally, but looks 'easy' is likely to sell better than a more powerful complicated ui.
2) and most people are essentially color blind when it comes to design. 3) users have no preconceived notion/expectation like you. If it works it's good enough...often a user coverage of features will only be 10-30% of the total functionality in a product (same goes for the percent of books people read). Relatedly they don't do side by side comparisons so they rarely have a frame of reference to compare. You see this in hardware sales, yes a 52" TV side by side may be noticiably different, but back at home ...anything is better than the 20" with rabbit ears. ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
