I'd like to see some additional examples of this arbitrary limitation in the GUI. It seems to me that many design choices can be classified as limitations. If the user doesn't understand the reasons behind the design choices, then the user might mistake them as being arbitrary.
Links/buttons that open on middle-click. I middle-clicked because I wanted to open in a new tab, this page should stay where it is.
Sites that don't work at a DPI that isn't 72.
Those are the most immediate things that annoy me.
It's way too wide for my taste and not very readable.
I CAN middle-click the following Google link types:
- Search Result
- Plus User Name/Icon
- Plus Link in Post
- Some links in Google Help.
I CANNOT middle-click the following:
- Map Search Result
- Plus "Fun & Interesting" results
- GMail Message
- Some links in Google Help.
Take, for example, Twitter--
You CAN right-click on links like:
- "Tweets"
- "Following"
- etc.
But you arbitrarily cannot right-click:
- A link to the user's "Recent images"
- The link to a user's profile from "Recent images"
- etc.
Would that really take it into account? Surely you'd be loading a new link without the state that the client has created, you'd need to push the state to the server and construct the links based on that - at which point it seems you're duplicating effort at the server and client.
