Comment 12 for bug 318922

Nice work Jason (and everybody else)!
But you David, I find you to be a stubborn man, reading your top down imposed improvements. I dont argue against improving usability, but that takes historical context and knowledge of how the brain works. Let me give you an analogy: I myself sometimes feel that I could move about much better in a high tech wheel chair (like a souped up iBot), as supposed to just walking. I could try to prove my point to the people around me, but they have every right to keep walking, not only because it's easy to do (as supposed to charging your wheelchair before you need it) , but it has become second nature. There's a lot of examples of wrong choices regarding usability that have stuck, and will never be repaired by replacing them with better options lying around (qwerty anybody?), and that has to do with the last part of my analogy. The wrong choice got adopted too soon, and killed the chances of the better solutions to take over. Thats life, and I advise you to pick your areas for improvement well, if you wish for them to be used.

In the mean time, mostly all of my requests have been honoured, which you probably would have never guessed (but instead opposed):
- copy/paste
- shortcuts
- keeping input state (still soliciting for that one. doh!)

Lazy me is waiting for them 3 to really come alive, so I can kick Launchy (its barely alive, but functioning). I want to increase my offer to $250,- for that to happen. Still cheap perhaps, but who's with me?
