Yea its a shame. Usability is almost an afterthought for most people developers these days! I dont know why people keep accepting this. It's seriously stupid when you think about it...
I mean, take MSword for example, a program we all know and have used.
Try making a new document in word. You first have to click on file, then on new, and then? you'd think you'd finally get your new document right? well ofcourse not! Try it out, you'll get a toolbar or a popup screen with a whole bunch of options one of which will finally get you your new document...
Or how about opening all the toolbars at once, check out how little screenspace you'll have left to type in once you've gotten over the shock of seeing the result, try 'n figure out how many of those options you actually use! (or which of those you wish you'd known about before trying to open all the toolbars available)

And it's like that all over the place, not just 'rosity, not just word, its everywhere! How many people know how to program their vcr without using a manual? The technology has started to become obsolete and we still dont know how to use it!

This world is in need of interaction design! hahaha

So, are you a web-designer? or a web-programmer? or a flash animator?
