It's just a bunch of slogans and generalities. If you can explain how to make a tool with thousands of buttons easy to use, please do. For starters, how does one decide _easily_ which sequence of the thousands buttons to press? And btw, I don't agree that math can be very easy to use (although I use it every day).
