“As you can see, you can do some pretty bad things with JavaScript that will certainly drive your visitors away (or insane!). So why is this kind of functionality available? Some functions is actually very useful if you’re writing complex HTML5 web applications. By disabling text-selection on interface elements you can make the application easier to use, and you can re-implement the right click menu using your own options.”

Daring Fireball: Ronco Spray-On Usability
On the characteristic lack of usability in open source projects, and why. "The distributed, collaborative nature of open source software works for developer-level software, but works against user-level software.

Editing decisions forged by group consensus on mailing lists. The result would be unfocused, incoherent, and unenjoyable."
