Debate between Simplicity and Power.
- Simplicity = do one thing well, simplify, 80/20 rule
- Power = features, options, capabilities
Features ⇨ choices ⇨ decisions ⇨ unhappiness
"Paradox of choice" by Barry Schwartz
"Getting real" by 37Signals
Every time you have an option in a dialog, you're asking someone to make a decision.
People want features and choices that support THEIR work.
It is borderline unethical to require your users to do something in a certain order (modal dialogs).
Elegance = "the modesty not to draw attention to the difficulties it has surmounted" (said by Alain de Botton)
