Good Tools Are Invisible

The blog post 'Good Tools Are Invisible' argues that effective tools should be seamless and unobtrusive, making the user experience easier. The author uses the example of text editors, specifically Vim, to illustrate their point, criticizing the trend of framing tool limitations as challenges or puzzles for enjoyment, emphasizing that the primary goal should be the invisibility and efficiency of tools rather than making them 'fun' or gamified.
