IMHO, using the word "CRAP" to describe good practices seems like a bad idea. I thought the article was going to be a rant about some UIs the author didn't like... instead it was useful advice. I'm glad I clicked through, but "CRAP" didn't help that.

This person didn't invent the term CRAP to define good design; it's been around for longer than I can remember.

It's still a poor term for positive reinforcement...

Fair enough. But the people that need basic advice like this might not be aware of the term, and might not read the article as a result.

CRAP isn't ironic, it's crap.
