Blake Ross: “Phoenix is completely focused on normal users. I think you read Matthew‘s blog too much. I would advise against that, since 3 months down the road you’ll inevitably realize what a fool you’ve been (we all did.)”
Had this been addressed to me — an mpt groupie — it would just be cute. But in an international blind taste test challenge, our brave contestant could not tell the difference between a professional and a slavish groupie.
Blake’s response is ironic because the person to whom he is responding is indeed a professional user interaction designer. Even more ironic because Blake evidently thinks Mozilla developers should just ignore mpt. Yeah. Mozilla developers — now there’s a team that has a real grip on usability.
(Sorry, Tim, but someone has to toot your horn once in a while. You can harass me offline.)
