Recently I am trying to get into the topic a bit again and play around with various frameworks and watch videos about UI/UX.
I would love to inspect some software with exceptionally great interface/usability. So what the title says.. what's your favorite and why?
It is highly responsive, very reliable and predictable, can be used with only the keyboard, can be configured easily, can be introspected readily, and is also very flexible and general: For example, it can be used as a display engine for almost arbitrary interactions including calendars, games, spreadsheets, can incorporate output from other programs etc.
Importantly, it provides elegant means to automate all tasks it can do.
Emacs for me has one of the steepest learning curves in any software I’ve ever tried to use. (Maybe even anything in general). There seems to be be a cult culture around editors such as vim and emacs that I can only attribute to leftover elitism from the early ages of computer science. I don’t see why people who are using or building these software wouldn’t have spent some time improving the onboarding of new users all the years these software has been around.
