My grandma just recently, and very reluctantly, started using ereaders.
Computer interfaces confuse her in general, but she's more or less gotten the hang of it now.
Until you come along and ask for a "very small" interface change...that adds a button to the screen and rearranges everything, and now I have to go re-teach her how to use it all over again.
Thanks. Bleh.
Me? I'm all for adding stuff to _my_ interface. I've got NickelMenu installed and I've added buttons to it until I can't find stuff anymore. (And after a while, remove the ones I don't use as much as I thought I would.) And if the feature you ask for is added, that's probably where it should be added.
The people in this forum in general should be able to handle changes and adapt, but even here people complain with even small interface changes. Add a scrolll bar? Watch the complaints come in that 3 pixels were stolen from their screen width to fit the scroll bar in.
The people _not_ in this forum in general are even less adaptable than the people here. And some of those are like my grandma.
