"Bad habit is worse than lack of education."
Or, in other terms, user's experience with another program may affect
"intuitiveness" of the interface much more, than lack of any experience
whatsoever.
Quite true. That is why it is absolutely imperative to test without any assumptions. Preconceived ideas
have no place there.
