Isn’t it time we made Enterprise apps more interesting and fun, while accomplishing the user goals! That would be a great step forward.
I agree with moderate use of easter eggs and am very interested in use of gamification in enterprise apps. I am not sure how I feel about “skeumorphism”. I think Apple overdid it in some apps.(I detest it in the Podcast app with the spinning tape). Indications are that Apple may be moving away from it in future versions in favor of cleaner, simpler interfaces.
Language is another good one, and I feel we can afford to lighten up a little bit in our enterprise apps with the language. Why so serious, right?
But I guess, the right balance is more of an art than science.
