If I can’t, I’m not interested.
Because whatever you have built, whatever you have created, no matter how good the GUI is, one day I’m going to want to automate it.
And if I can’t automate it, I’m going to throw it against the wall in disgust because now I know in the back of my head that I will always have to fire up your app and stare at this gorgeous GUI taking up my time as I wait for it to finish its task.
Software is meant to be automated, it’s designed to save us time, not force us to stare at it and watch progress bars trickle by.
If you really want to make an impact in your next app launch, show your customers how they can script it and get back the commodity they are so desperately trying to find more of that you’ve just given them in spades – Time.
