Yeah, form needs to follow function in /such/ a bad way over there.
Oh god, that. I wrote a comment for the latest post basically waxing how 'form follows function' is the most basic of design rules, but then I deleted it unposted because there's no point; you just get the standard 'we love freeform tags and they're not going anywhere' in reply. They insist on sacrificing basic functionality to ideology, wasting resources along the way, creating a confusing mess of white noise drowning out the relevant information... it all makes so little sense.
I love the archive, that's why I find their tagging policy frustrating to no end.
