@@ -90,18 +90,7 @@ A program should be designed to make its features as easy as possible to discove
Rationale:
A program whose features are discoverable turns a new user into an expert in a shorter span of time, since the user will become an expert on the program simply by using it.

The main benefit of a graphical program over a command line-based
program is discoverability. In a graphical program, one can discover
all the common features by simply looking at the user interface and
guessing what the different buttons, menus and other widgets do. The
traditional way to discover features in commandline programs is
through manual pages. This requires both that the user starts to use a
different program, and then she/he remembers the new information
until the next time she/he uses the same program.
