> Fine, this will be great for onboarding new users but you just made it a lot harder to use for all existing users.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves in UX. People almost always mix up user-friendly with beginner-friendly.

Those are very different and the majority of cases they are opposites of each other.

A good UX is one that combine the two (well, that is also under the assumption that a broad audience is targeted).
