Putting A Bad Interface On Things -- "As for the Web, user interfaces are all over the map. You can never tell how to accomplish a task from one site to another. Worse, the rules sometimes change within sites. Search doesn't work the way you expect it to (if it works at all). Dropdown menus hold mysterious choices, and no one knows where links go."

People are technology overloaded, only have a limited amount of attention to share and are "task" focused.

It takes more for a UI/design to impress.

Systems that take some of the work away from users allowing them to focus on the task at hand will be applauded every time.

Won't even buy a Porsche? Let's get real here: people wouldn't even buy a mid-priced car from Ford, much less an expensive Porsche.
