You *need* both. Take too long, and the user will go somewhere else.

I remember hearing about another division, a bunch of years ago, when I
worked at the Scummy Mortgage Co. (name available upon request, offline),
where the manager had designed the interface... and all the clerks *hated*
it, and did everything they could to *not* use it.

In other words, it was a failure. But then, that's another reason I have
always wanted, during the design phase, to talk to the actual end users,
*not* to the Manager Who Knew, I Mean, Everything.
