I gather that other folks here would point to something that begins
with "Red" and ends with "Hat," but for myself I'm content to point and
laugh at the antics of diva developers who literally spent a year
pushing back on the idea that they should offer functionality so basic
that *every other extant GUI* has it with the You Don't Need That, the
This Is Actually By Design, and the Anyway That's Not Possible lines of
argument...

...only to back down sputtering when enough people maintained that they
*did* need it that they risked losing their bid for dominance, and all
of a sudden it became Magically Possible After All - which they could
have done *a year prior* if they weren't so pointlessly pigheaded.

That's *funny,* that is.
