baaaaad ux is everywhere.

I cannot fathom how in this day and age anybody can expect/require that people install things globally. "npm install -g" is a completely pure evil bad abomination.

Any splash screen should either be like 50% gray, or be done in the dominant contrast of the desktop/os/gui. So on a Mac, it should be black-on-white. On say regular Ubuntu it should be black-on-white. I dunno that there's that much of any systems out there at least in any sort of mainstream sense where it should be white-on-black.

Any app that might require restart as part of some not-utterly-out-of-the-ordinary activity (Firefox, VSCode, etc.) must have an actual 'restart' command in the menus. Otherwise: UX fail.

Just about everything about programming sucks, in terms of UX. Most humans are kind of sort of clueless when it comes to usability, and then programmers seem to be like 10x worse.

elm might be a nice language. i can't tell because the ecosystem really sucks.
