A 2017 year-end opinion piece cataloguing frustrations with poor UI design across embedded devices and desktop software. Examples range from a Toyota Prius dashboard showing only 'Problem' instead of actionable diagnostics, to focus-stealing desktop apps, opaque browser TLS certificate information, and disruptive auto-update behavior. The author closes with a personal 2018 wishlist: a hybrid file browser/terminal, an Eclipse Mylyn-style task context switcher for all IDEs, and a semantic diff tool that can filter out bulk refactoring noise to highlight meaningful code changes.
