I never really understood intuitive as a description for user interfaces. I remember back when opinion articles on Tech news websites would use that term to mean it "looks and functions exactly like Windows XP"
Idiomatic usage of ‘intuitive’ regarding interfaces breaks down into
‘familiar’, so, confusing intuition with knowledge, or
‘discoverable’, which is more accurate and describes things like icons and tooltips and menus, where the rules of usage become more or less apparent with exploration and logic.
Yep. What's considered intuitive UI changes depending on what you're used to.
It's why Google fought so hard to put Chromebooks in American classrooms.
