Never call anything "intuitive". Chances are overwhelming that it isn't for the majority of people.

For the programmer himself, even a "change into meta-workflow-hyper-mode" may seem intuitive, but for someone who never has used a computer, even the moving and clicking of a mouse is _not_ intuitive.

"Intuitive" is a completely subjective concept. A reviewer or user may say "this feels intutive to me", but the programmer or designer cannot sensibly use that word in any stronger way than "I hope that it feels intutive for a large part of my intended audience."

You could say that about almost every adjective. Your logic seems to imply that no one should ever dare hold an opinion or make an assertion.

No. While there always is a difference between someone claiming a certain property of a thing and that thing actually having that property, some properties are easily verifiable but others are not. For example, "offline capable" is easily verifiable.

For "intuitive" on the other hand, even the meaning of the word is not clear. I think that it means "aligns well with one's previous experiences". That, however, means that it is idiotic to say that "this UI is intuitive", just as it is idiotic to say that "this line is orthogonal"---you have to specify _to_what_ that line is orthogonal, and _to_whom_ the UI is intuitive.
