Interestingly enough, I read your words and remembered a recent set of 
articles by ESR about usability, UI and geek programmers designing 
waaay too geek UIs:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cups-horror.html
http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/03/01/1453218&mode=nested

I mostly agree with ESR in those articles.
