Intutive is relative to what one already knows. If you learn Visio first, then a similar app that does not have the same controls, layout, etc, as Visio will feel unintuitive. I can relate to this, as I learned Visio first, On the other hand, I learned GIMP before PhotoShop, so PhotoShop feels unintuitive to me. Similarly with other applications. I learned Word Perfect before I learned MS Word, so MS Word has always felt unintuitive to me. Indeed, I know a lot of adanced users of pre-2007 MS Word. They mostly hate Word 2007. They find it unintuitive. A lot of these people have switched over to OpenOffice or LibreOffice because either of these is more like pre-2007 Word than Word 2007 is, therefore, more intuitive. _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
