Salesforce can’t even get its Settings menu right

Most people think Salesforce has been designed by the Devil himself. I’m one of those people. They can’t even get their “Settings” page right… and a basic control panel isn’t exactly rocket science.

In the Salesforce settings page, you can switch between the different sections only by clicking precisely on the words, not anywhere else; even though the whole row gets highlighted, as if it was a big button.

Two things irk me: the highlighting feelks like an affordance, while it’s not; and the precision needed in order to click on the words breaks Fitt’s Law.

Good job, Salesforce.
