That's not what I had in mind. My point was about the cases where someone
disconsiders some part of the program he views as not that important and
deliberately reduces the resources for that part because he thinks it's
not worth it. When it comes to user interfaces, the primary concern is to
make the interface easy to use and remember by the user, not to write
less lines of code.
