User Interfaces Should be More Obscure! - Ron Kollgard

I discovered that article by accident a few days ago, and much enjoyed it. Similar thoughts went through my mind when trying out Bryce and (a while earlier) DAZ Studio. Mostly astonishment that the user guides were so good and had such a friendly tone. The columnist (above) felt a 'fairy' theme (DAZ Studio) was not really the best choice for guys to play around with; on the other side of the divide I was thinking it wasn't great for women either. I would have liked some more sensible clothing to put on my fairies so that they could be allowed out in public. My own sneaking suspicion is that it's deliberate - if we want to be able to show off our posing characters, we will have to buy them some proper togs first.
