@mangeurdenuage There are also some sites that try to prevent copy-pasting passwords. I think PayPal does this when people are changing passwords. It's evil, but if users have #JavaScript / #JabbaShit activated, sites can do things like this.

I do agree that users need to be willing to think and to learn something when using computing devices. Trying not to have to think, not to learn something is a direct highway to having someone else do all your thinking and make all your decisions and choices for you.

I also think developers and companies like to change the UI and the way users interact with software far too often. No, you don't need to follow this year's appearance fad like you followed the fads of the year for the past 2-3 years. Leave things alone for a few years.
