Skinnability and Choice

Charles Miller has some interesting thoughts on skins:

I consider skinnability to be a good reason to not use a program. Skinnability almost always means complete lack of standard controls, and useability that as been viciously compromised just so that some 13 year old boy can more easily graft on a bunch of stuff he scanned from an H.R. Giger calendar.

Go read the whole thing, especially the link above - it's a well thought out rant....
