Chris is obsessed by user interfaces. I totally agree that the UI of any piece of software is important but Chris is a radical UI activist! =)

I think his blog posts are losing credibility due to the lack of balance in his content. I’ve always enjoyed watching Chris on TV and reading his blog. It’s becoming a little Dvorakian me thinks.
