Comment 79 for bug 691380

"Coolness" should never be a criterion for design of user interface.
It's nice when people are impressed by how clever they are (I'm sure
that those responsible for the 3.1 "Quick Filter" are just overwhelmed
by their own awssomeness), but the point of the code is for enable
real users in the real world to perform real tasks hundreds of thousands
a time a day, and to do that quickly and with minimal annoyance and with
no surprises.

Functionality, simplicity and *consistency* go a long way further than
coolness and misguided innovation in UI.
