That doesn't mean internal consistency doesn't help with that. I can't count the times I have been asked 'I want to do <X>, but I don't know how' in a program I hadn't seen before, I clicked around for a few seconds, and said 'See? There it is.' And the reaction always is 'But you said you didn't know that program!'. Yeah, I didn't, but I know user interfaces after playing around with them for 40+ years. That helps. Knowing the system, not the program. |

The notion that all of any complex program's features/capabilities should reveal themselves to a user through some sort of magical UI osmosis is misguided. It's OK if you have no desire to learn how to use complex pieces of software, but perhaps just say that instead of blaming your lack of motivation on imaginary notions that you shouldn't have to.
