I wish all the apps on my work PC obeyed these commandments. There's a certain popular spreadsheet application that damn near reduces me to tears every time I attempt to use it.

("What do you mean, you can't open 2 files with the same name? They're in different folders! For the love of God, why?!")


Excellent advice! If you write client-side apps, obey these commandments, for they are truly the user's keeper.


Each commandment is not prefixed with "Thou shalt"...I'm so very disappointed.
