But also beware of developers who say beware of UI experts 😳. History is littered with software that is really smart and well written, but to the average Joe cumbersome and horrible to use!
Smarter people than I am have pointed out the important distinction between “easy to use” and “easy to learn”. Powerful and useful software might not be “easy to learn”, but once you have mastered it, it can become “easy to use”. Too often people pass judgement on a piece of software as to how “easy to learn” it is, even though they think (and say) that they are evaluating how “easy to use” it is.
