"In many cases, the user interface to a program is the most important part for a commercial company: whether the programs works correctly or not seems to be secondary"

- Linus Torvalds

About this Quote

Linus Torvalds is suggesting that for business companies, the user interface of a program is more crucial than whether the program works correctly or not. This is due to the fact that the user interface is the part of the program that the consumer connects with, and it is the part that will figure out whether the customer will use the program or not. If the user interface is not user-friendly and simple to utilize, then the customer will not have the ability to use the program effectively, and they will not be likely to acquire it. On the other hand, if the interface is well developed and simple to use, then the customer will be more likely to purchase the program and use it. Therefore, for commercial business, the interface is the most important part of the program, as it will figure out whether the consumer will acquire the program or not.
