It's not a matter of taste when you're presented with a list of options, none of which make sense (or all of which seem to mean the same thing), and there's no accessible help button. Or the help button is on the previous screen (and it's useless anyway when you get back there) and the screen you're on is modal so you can't get back without hitting "cancel". (That was my experience last night of K3B, which seems to be totally useless<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-(

Read ESR's recent rant about CUPS for a perfect example of how to confuse *intelligent* users by actively hiding all the information they need to make a sensible decision<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...
