I wish I could find that article again.
Basically, if the dialog raises a question in such a way that Yes or No will do, yes
and no buttons are better.
If the dialog has more things to do, descriptive buttons are better.
like:
+------------------------------------+
| |
| Remove folder "zbr" ? |
| |
| |
| [ Yes ] [ <No> ] |
| |
+------------------------------------+
and
+--------------------------------------------+
| |
| Expunge folder "zbr" ? |
| |
| |
| [ Move To Trash ] [ Delete ] [ <Cancel> ]
| |
+--------------------------------------------+
Notice I default the buttons with <> to the safest choice.
