Natural language is the lazy user interface "_Just slap a textbox on it!"_ The tyranny of the blank textbox is real. "people are bad at words"

Pet peeve of mine. Unless it is being used in a very conscious way as a way of providing accessibility to people for whom a text-based interface is better, I seldom see the point. And I'm surrounded by people who are super excited about it. Meanwhile, I'm auto-generating forms from data structures. 😠
