What you don't get is that if you have to make a decision between two equally technically elegant decisions, and one of them improves usability, you go for usability.
You twisted it. Mind the "not" in front of "a usability standpoint". It says: technical correctness > usability not: usability > higher learning curve But you know that argument failed, which is why you argue it beeing invalid:
I will say it one last time: Adding the _necesity_ to configure something that doesn't need to be configured is crap, from a technical and a usability point of view and thus defeats the Arch Way.
thanks again for admiting that you disrespect the arch way. Now black on white and not revokeable. -- best regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Arvid Ephraim Picciani
