Consistency (was: Re: UI Forking: Towards Resolution...)
Application UI consistency does not preclude user customization. On the Amiga, all apps works the same. The right mouse button always calls up the menu if one is available.

But largely because so much can be inherited, anything that's based on a WPS class will follow the user interface guidelines without a conscious effort from the developer. One of the big strengths...

UI consistency is what separates us from the beasts of the field. When the user chooses that "Minimize" command, or clicks that icon with the little line in it, that user generally wants it to do what it's always done in other applications in the past, not what the designer of this particular app thought would be A

Mozilla, on the other hand, just doesn't have the luxury of being able to get away with being inconsistent with the operating system.

UI consistency (the closest thing there is to any kind of `intuitiveness' in any UI, in my book) and Windows do not belong in the same universe.
