True enough. I don't struggle with that stuff though. You can be a programmer and still laser-focus on usability. What we can't do (those who don't possess both skills) is make things easily pretty. I tell my designer friends this: when you picture a person in your head, you see a lot more detail than I do. I see a circle, eyes, a mouth, a nose, and a hairline that stops somewhere on the forehead. You see exactly where that hairline stops. And how it falls down the side of the head. And where the shading on the cheeks go. And the ridges on the lips. I don't see those things. I like the imagination. It's why I can never be a designer; it's not in my DNA. It's why I favor extremely simplistic designs, easier to make look relatively attractive.
