Xtext, diagrams and ux
This document discusses user experience (UX) in the context of Xtext and diagram editors. It outlines some of the key ingredients of good UX, like usability and consistency. When using diagram frameworks with Xtext, quirks can arise which impact the UX. However, by taking control over UX with tools like FXDiagram, these quirks can be avoided and the user experience improved. The document promotes UX as important for why users like products and advocates taking back control over UX.
