I'm curious what this community would point to as well: https://twitter.com/ibdknox/status/1234519481617006592

I am very lazy and generally prefer things which are Easy in the Simple vs Easy Rich Hickey sense. Close to hand, fast to get going with, eventual catastrophes 😀 I also like tools that know their scope, integrate well with others, and leave their connections "raw". My worst nightmare is things that are highly configurable but in a "closed" way, e.g. a lot of creative software like Photoshop, Blender, Unreal Engine etc. For example, in Sublime Text, the Build command will basically just execute a string you provide as a command. This is so much more appealing to me to than trying to configure Eclipse. The "connection" in Sublime Text is more "raw".

There are two things I need tools for: manipulating an artifact (pragmatic action), and understanding the artifact (epistemic action). I want the least intrusive pathway between intention and effect/understanding. This is fairly characterised as "flow", as someone else mentioned.

For me lately, it is a set of strongly opinionated best practices either baked in into the product or coming in form of documentation. Of course, I still value having flexibility to customize things as time goes, but very often I know there is somebody "smarter" who has figured out the best way to use the product (often the creators or some power users), and that is what I want to start with instead of figuring it all out on my own (unless I have a lot of time for research, but more often I just need to get productive quickly).

Maximizing reuse.
