I can't prove it but I'm sure lots of folks, young and old, are turned off by the GUI! I know I was (and still am) back when I bought the software! Originally Posted by Notes Norton After all Google looks pretty old fashioned to me, similar to the way it looked in the 20th century. It really isn't about the old fashioned look, rather, about how complex and confusing it is. Google does one thing. Compare the BIAB Options/Preferences dialog with Google! Originally Posted by Notes Norton Some web pages and GUIs seem to be more about entertaining than function. Functionality is king of course but there are MANY software products that have figured out how to make their GUI highly functional AND fun to use and that is a GOOD thing! I want to enjoy my time in front of the computer!
