Change for the sake of change. Claudius; there is nothing lazy about not wanting to change the way things were/are done. If the new is always easier, why was it not put that way in the first place? The fact of the matter is that changing things (in the most case) is so that on-going training, books and other money-generating angles can be exercised. Don’t be sucked onto “the greater good ” b.s. No company would invest in changing things that work really well just to “refine”, if that change will cause the majority of their customer base to dislike it, unless there was some other reason… Money perhaps??

In my opinion people are damn lazy. Sometimes they are just too lazy to re-learn something even if it’s for the better in the long run.

As an example i would like to present Windows Vista. People complain they can’t find this or that function. This is due to the error of searching in the old, familiar place. The old and familiar place may not have been the best place to put the function (or maybe the label on that function might have been hard to understand) so it gets changed. People complain it’s more complicated while it is in fact easier - they’re just not yet used to it.

If you only listen to the people wanting their old functions back, there will be no noteworthy development in software.

I am just saying that sometimes you have to do something against everybody else’s opinion to make a change for the better.

All they want now is bug testing, not comments on the usability, neccesity, or ‘would be nice to have’ features.

The bathrooms there (ivory tower) don’t need ventlators because obviously their s**t doesn’t stink.

It won’t be my first time…
