Maybe I am being narrow-minded, but I just don't see these other distinctions as being valid approaches. Stakeholder-centered, tech-centered, etc. I really feel this is over-complicating things.
If you agree with what I said earlier about design defining what you're trying to do and then dealing with the challenges of doing it, then all of these things, including and especially the USER must be factored-in. Any design that focuses on one factor to the exclusion of the others is destined to fail IMO. However that doesn't mean that you can't prioritize these factors. In terms of designing a web site or app that people will use, I guess I just don't see how anything can be prioritized higher than the user. Again, not to the exclusion of all else. Sometimes something may be best for the user, but just not be feasible because of costs or technological limitations. However sacrifices like that need to be made very carefully and thoughtfully. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
