Good interface design is as transparent as possible, because I don’t want to have to think about it. I just want to write, or do whatever else I’m doing, and not have to think about whatever I’m doing it on.

From a writer that I admire, about what he wants in a tech product. It seems that he is exactly the kind of person that I have in mind while doing *my* engineering work. I consider a design a success if no one has to notice how clever it is.
