Good software is invisible

Quickflix updated their front page with a few extra features, and it is so well-designed that I didn't even notice until the third time I'd logged in. That's how software is supposed to work - you hardly even see it because you're focused on your task rather than thinking about how to use the tools you have.

PS - This is not always possible.
PPS - But familiar software starts to blend into the background.
