User interface

Some thoughts on the types of UIs I like:

1.	Minimalistic. I'm with Apple on this one: The less clutter, the better. Tuck away uncommonly used features.

2.	Efficiency. UIs should make it as effient as possible for users to complete their task, and support such things as key mappings etc. to make things even faster for experienced users. How many keyboard buttons and mouse clicks are required to complete a task?

3.	Consistency. Whenever possible, make UI functionality consistent. This aids in learning and makes using a UI more pleasant.

4.	Beauty. UIs that use graphics and graphical odornments well make using them much more pleasurable.
