Even rudimentary features like numbered lists, foreign character support and tables were often missing. So users frantically upgraded to each new release to gain new features they could actually use.</p> <p>However, at some point, the new features stopped becoming useful to most people. Sure there would be a few esoteric new features that a small percentage of people would use, but for most users, these new features just made the programmer bigger, slower and harder to use. This was the age of feature bloat.</p> Wed, 28 Jun 2006 11:23:00 -0700 urn:uuid:4896de45-62e3-4eec-b94b-2cd1a07c8e22 Max Dunn http://blog.maxdunn.com/articles/2006/06/28/the-least-annoying-application-will-win Random Thoughts
