Graphic design of user interface becomes more important in today applications than ever. It is obvious that software vendors experience increasing expectations on how their applications look. Good graphic design is traditionally thought as a need for public web sites, games and this kind of software, for which it is important to make good impression to a user from the first sight, to keep him/her using this software. And what is interesting, it also becomes important for applications that are used day to day, where graphic design played not so important role traditionally.

Don't you think programming is hard enough to master? Now you want them to be artists as well?

It's funny that this story has come up because I'm a developer learning Windows Presentation Foundation and, like many developers, I'm finding it difficult to design the user interface. To further complicate the situation, I don't know any designers that know XAML, yet. That said, however, I somewhat agree with sigzero. I believe that developers and designers should both bleed a little into the other side of the fence; however, I ultimately believe that realizing our own limitations is essential. It doesn't matter how much I try, I'll never be half the designer as some of the people I know.
