what is wrong with using a product that "just werks"

>>56430247

Literally nothing.

But no product ever just werks without compromising somewhere.

You have to be prepared to give up quite a lot in exchange for something that just werks, anon.

An item that satisfies the needs of the lowest common denominator is usually bland and insipid.

Because those things don't "just work" as people tend to claim. It's usually a form of blindness that people have because they're used to whatever it is.

Nothing "just works". There is a baseline level of knowledge required to use all kinds of stuff. So really it's just an expression of preference and poor theory of mind.

But not always, look at iOS and OS X for example. They're fucking beautiful examples of modern engineering.

Have you ever actually used OS X?

>>56430349
Not in a decade or so

>>56430336

Do you know where you are fuckface?

Because "it just works" how they want it to and how they allow you to let it work.

It's an attempt at being idiot proof, that someone with skills doesn't want to be fettered with. They want to tell the computer how to work, not be told how to work the computer.

>wahh it's not like windoze so it's bad
Kill yourself faggot.

>>56430403
I think that's part of OP's point: if it just works FOR YOU. People invent too many stupid conflicts over this shit.

>Apple, why do you do this?

More often than not, products advertised as "just werks" have numerous glaring deficiencies in them.

They are some of the most insecure operating systems on the market.

>no backspace button
No, it is a backspace button. Plug in any other keyboard and the backspace button will map to the same key. Problem is they labeled it wrong.
