Tough crowd here.  It is rare for anyone in this group to speak positively about any projects.  I wonder what it is about peoples' expectations on this site that I seem to not possess.  Is it because I am not an expert in the field ?.  I find it interesting that many projects I see I like, yet get criticized here.  Maybe I am actually the target audience that the designers are looking to impress, which means they did achieve their job.  Or maybe it is somewhat like art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  No matter what, it is certainly interesting.

I heard something once that was talking about video games, and it basically said "If you have any depth on knowledge on video games, and play more than 10 a year, and read articles about developments in gaming, you are an expert in your field. When you get mad at controls or graphics or UI, you have to understand that most people don't have the same exposure as you, and are perfectly happy with what they've been given."

I think the same absolutely applies here. I don't have an architectural background. I don't go into many high-rise residential buildings. I just see them as I pass by, and either my brain is happy or it isn't, and I don't think about it much further than that. And so I can be a lot happier with what is provided than someone who lives and breathes this subject every day.

Great analogy !!!   thanks for your perspective.
