The amount of thought & attention to detail that went into this post is...incredible. A true masterpiece.
Articles like this always amuse me. This person has created nothing except annotating and designersplaining the design work other people already researched, designed, tested, and deployed.
I suppose by thought and attention to detail you mean staged well-composed screen grabs of these common UI patterns?
It requires sensitivity to notice and appreciate the little details in our world. The author has shown a wealth thereof. He took exceptional time and effort to uncover and document all kinds of wonderful interactive details for us to appreciate. He wrote in a clear, direct manner, and he had his writing reviewed by others.
His article shows a rare level of passion, attention to detail, and respect for the reader. You don't have to agree with it, but you should at least respect it.
To Rauno Freiberg should you read this: thank you for writing and sharing this article.
