    How about they make it usable first?

    A consistent UI would be nice.

    Eg the same icon and button to make the transaction do "the thing" throughout, instead of three different ones.

      Nobody understands human-machine interfaces anymore ... look at Windows 8+, Gnome 3+ ... you name it. SAPUi never cut it ... but the NetWeaver web ui is usable.

        You forgot the morons at web browser dev teams, think Chrome, Firefox (desperately trying to copy Chrome and losing their USPs in the process), even Vivaldi, the new-Opera, has gone for its own stupid win7-ish framework that looks out of place even on Windows, let along other machines, and seems to have lost the good bits of Opera. Opera, of course, has also lost the good bits by becoming a Chrome-reband (OK, the "turbo" feature is still useful).

        A pox on them all!
