I think that's why I find acme's use of the pointer to
be more paletable than other apps. The one thing
that no UI study ever measures is how much using
an app gives one a feeling of connection to the intelligence
behind it. And a good design helps build that connection.
I've never really felt that with any commercial software
that I can recall. But I do feel it with most parts of Plan 9.
For me, that's the single most important factor in how
plesant a piece of software is to use.
