Sense of Usability

I've been fortunate to interact and work with some really good professionals. And one thing common with most of them (if not all) has been that they have excellent sense of usability. Don't know what's the link, but they can recognize and in turn use a good feature to the best effect. They can tell a clean interface from a bad one. They can tell a well designed site from the clutter. What's more, they themselves can be trusted to give ideas for good usability.

From my experiences, I've seen that usability is a very important aspect - be it an API interface or user interface. And some folks manage both with equal brilliance!

Lately, Sharan just reinstated this belief of mine.

Usability is the key. Everywhere.  And not just a term to be dismissed off as UE related. It is there in every aspect of programming/programs developed/used et al.
