This just reminds me something I bring up to my development team. The point of software is to serve humans, to make their lives better. You should avoid spending time solving problems created by yourself, the programmer.

I think about this a lot when I see UI redesigns that "look fresh" or "updated" while actually reducing productivity and degrading the life of the humans who need computers to get stuff done. All for some vague concept from the head of a "visionary" who often doesn't use the system to solve the problems it is meant to solve.
