Great opinion piece on what makes software feel like good software, TLDR is speed of response and function, ie. software lag and obsfuscated design are bad.
Thanks for sharing, Jon. I agree with the writer here. I chose the BYOD route in my project role at a DHB and access the system via a citrix login. The system responds a little bit slower than if I was at a terminal (maybe because I also use the wifi). However the convenience of being in a workshop, meeting and accessing the information I/we need straight away means I am willing to compromise on speed for convenience.

Yes - you are able to make the trade off yourself - which makes a lot of the difference.
