RE: Why a poor user interface can make users happy
MrBeck, I think you need to be careful about confusing a good
UI and familiarity. Just because you are familiar with a design
doesn't make it a good one, and just because you aren't
familiar doesn't make it a bad one.
There are always people who resist new designs when they are
first implemented, and for companies like Bloomberg or
Reuters who have a huge presence, it's not worth the challenge
of fighting against these people. However, if a new player could
provide the information in an equally timely manner and a
much better interface, I think they would do pretty well for
themselves.
