Simplicity
In spite of the need to be `neat', I think simplicity is very important!
- Students will use each applet for only a short time
- time spent learning to use the applet is time wasted.
- We are not trying to teach people how to `drive' and applet,
we are trying to teach physics.
- Must not fall into the gizmo trap.
- Is that new button required?
- Does it add useful functionality?
- Is it worth the real estate?
