I refuse. I object to “git is hard”. I do not object to “the UX can be improved, perhaps significantly”. Other things that are easy but could have improved UX:
* Bart turnstiles: the green lit-up arrow doesn’t mean you can use the turnstile with your card. Only if that arrow is present and the Clipper reader has a green light on it can you use it. Not hard, really.
* Doors that you should push but have a handle: the presence of the handle implies a pull and yet you have to push. Hard? No.
* Applications which use a floppy disk icon for save. Not hard at all.
Honestly, I think the UI is like any tool. You learn it in a day and through use it gets so familiar you don’t even think about it. But many have complained about this and UIs are harder to evaluate, so I can easily admit I’m wrong here. The difficulty, though, that’s overstated. The absolute ease with which it came to me and to nearly everyone I know puts the lie to that.
