Would you consider an application like Firefox operational if
you launch it for the first time in your live, spin your mouse-wheel
to find out whether there's something below the part you see on your
screen and get a bell ringing and the information that you are at the
end of a thing called "buffer"?  Or that after selecting some text
with the mouse you just have "Mark set"?

It almost feels like the general approach for a long time has been to compensate the general "clunkiness" (or at least peculiarity) of some UI corners with extra verbosity.

It's like the program is saying "it's okay if we're doing unusual things, but we'll tell you everything we're doing along the way".

I don't find it jarring myself, but we could probably do better.
