If it's hard, there might be a better way

When I watch technologically-novice people using computers, I frequently scream inside my head "there's a better way!" I hear such people saying "computers are so hard to use" after seeing them shoot themselves in the foot with an inconvenient configuration.

I also sometimes catch myself internally complaining about a large program with which I am unfamiliar, like Adobe Flash. Such programs have immense amounts of work and testing poured into them, so they can't be impossible to use. Once I do some research, I usually find that there's a much better way to accomplish what I had in mind.
