Far be it from me to pass up an opportunity to pile on with anyone criticizing Jakob Nielsen. Just found this little gem in Joel Spolsky’s 2006 “What Makes It Great? (First Draft)”
You get the feeling that if Mr. Nielsen designed a singles bar, it would be well lit, clean, with giant menus printed in Arial 14 point, and you’d never have to wait to get a drink. But nobody would go there; they would all be at Coyote Ugly Saloon pouring beer on each other.
Exactly.
