If something isn't immediately (ie within 5 seconds) apparent to a user of a piece of computer software (whether its the OS, java, anything) then THE DEVELOPER IS A F***ING IDIOT.
Above ALL though, cryptic install problems make me want to kill people. Literally. If the developer of the piece of software I'm struggling with right now was sitting next to me I would literally punch them in the face, and then kick them while they were down.
This is just some friendly advice from one developer to another. I know how programs should be made so don't be lazy. Put effort into your UI's and install experiences.
/end rant.
PS. Not targeted at anyone on maemo.org. So far all the software from this community is intuitive even if some of the ports are still rough around the edges.
