Actually, this is not at all facetious.  The impact and influence of
software one has become accustomed to, on habits, thought processes -
and ultimately, even design decisions - is vastly underestimated, as
is the propensity to follow paths of least resistance while believing,
quite sincerely, that one is better than that.

Even such a simple thing as, on selecting "Reply" or "Reply to all",
