NB: When I talk about "macish" I am not trying to insult any kind of OS/PC/Whatever user. I use this term only because Mac has a huge amount of fancy pancy boingboing swooshey effects. Stuff that is Cool. But does not really add to the usabilty. The real (and IMO best ever) usabilty with mac, lies in the fact that it Does What One Expects It To Do. Not with the fact that an icon bounces around your screen and then dissapears with a swoosh and a puff. I really hope that Drupal devels can see through this. And see that making Drupal more usable is not the same as adding more eyecandy-swooshey-poof-effects. But that those effects might (might!) be used in addition (in addition!) to great usability improvements. To make it even better then Just Very Good.
We're not stupid, Ber. I'm pretty sure that all of us understand that eye candy is not equivalent to ease of use. :) -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
