Version Fatigue

Posted by michael on Thursday June 20, 2002 @01:32AM from the everything-you-know-is-wrong dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An article in TechCentralStation introduces a useful new term: "version fatigue," which describes what happens when you get tired of learning new ways to do the same old thing with each release of software. This is something that tech designers seem insensitive to, but that drives users crazy. Maybe it's because tech designers are more anxious to be creative than to produce things that users like?"

"Version Fatigue" sounds like a politically correct term for whiny complainers. Bug fixes are a good thing. If Apache finds a bug in their HTTPD, I want them to fix it now instead of waiting because they feel they might hurt my feelings...
