The Software Conspiracy:
If a computer magazine publishes a roundup of word processors, the central piece of that article will be the “feature matrix,” a table showing what word processing programs have which features. With just a glance, the reader can quickly see which word processors have the richest sets of features, and which have the least features.
(Via Coding Horror.)
The next time I write a review of something, I’m going to make a feature matrix that looks like this:
| Windows | Macintosh | Linux | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Did the job | X | X | x |
| I liked it | X | X | |
| Would not kill development team if I met them | X | X |
