I keep noticing a weird pattern with creator tools: the smoother they get, the less I feel like I’m actually learning the craft. At some point the app stops being a tool and starts making a bunch of taste decisions for you.
Maybe that’s fine for casual use, but for people who care about developing a style, too much friction removal feels like it takes away the part that teaches you what you’re doing. Where do people think the line is between helpful automation and the software quietly doing the work for you?
