??? We spend more time on interface as a percentage of development
time than almost any other software company. Some of our customers
think we spend too much time. I have personally spent thousands of
hours agonizing over interface issues and details. It's almost funny
when people nitpick PageStream3's interface given the amount of
attention we have spent on it.

Not that it's perfect. There will be plenty of interface changes in
3.1. ;-)
