Many do, so I'll go with the majority opinion this time. I found it idiosyncratic but not intractable.

Agreed... and now you're bringing back some pretty bad memories when typists where I used to work were suddenly termed Word-Processor Operators.
To them a WP was a glorified typewriter. And for many people, it still is.

That doesn't mean there aren't pieces of software that have their UI sorted so that the manual needn't be constantly referenced for even the most elementary of tasks. I tried to sort out how to insert special characters and found a search of the Scrivener manual had nearly 50 uses of the word "special" none of which was relevant. And on the topic of UI, I think it's beyond time that the current menu bar at the top of an application was pretty much given the flick but that's a topic for another thread.
