"The simplicity freedom fighters regularly raise their clenched fists on
blogs and mailing lists, but the cause has never been crystallized in a
dramatic, Trumanesque way -- until now. In a sweeping blog post last
week, Adam Bosworth outlined a recent talk he gave, which he humbly
summarized as “a reminder to a group of very smart people that their
intelligence should be used to accommodate really simple user and
programmer models, not to build complex ones.” Humility aside,
Bosworth’s blog post is a rallying cry for IT and the technology
industry to fight for simplicity. Say hello to the Bosworth Doctrine."
